Easy & Delicious Can Corn
Description
Easy & Delicious Can Corn combines canned corn with garlic, butter, and parsley cooked gently over medium heat until the liquid reduces. This cooking process concentrates the flavors and creates a savory, slightly herby side that balances the natural sweetness of the corn kernels. The garlic adds aromatic depth, while the butter enriches the overall taste and contributes to a smooth texture. The use of dried or fresh parsley offers flexibility in seasoning.
The method ensures the corn remains tender, absorbing the seasoning without becoming mushy or dry. Because the liquid is reduced rather than fully drained at first, the corn cooks gently and keeps a pleasant moistness. This dish can complement a variety of main courses and works well as a simple vegetable side when fresh ingredients are limited.
Ingredients
- 15 oz corn 1 can
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 garlic minced or pressed, clove
- 1 teaspoon parsley or 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Drain off half of the liquid from the corn.
- Pour the remaining liquid and corn in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add butter, garlic, parsley (if using dried), salt and pepper.
- Simmer until the liquid is almost completely gone, about 5-7 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasonings (if you're using fresh parsley, add at this point).
