Great recipe to riff off of. I added olive oil to the butter, as well as some smoked paprika. Onions went in first and got a bit softened -- then the corn. The corn didn't get browned, but it didn't matter. In corn season, nice to have a variation from corn on the cob -- plus you can use the cobs to season soups -- like a fresh summery corn chowder made with corn meal, more kernels, and a touch of red peppers.
I'm in late summer heaven!
I had a little cream on hand, so went easy on the butter & softened the onions before adding the corn, which I don't like too done. Then saffron, cream & parm.
Just an incredible & simple combination. Thank you Mark!
Great! We used grilled corn that I took off the cob. I used red onion and sautéed it first to a dark color. I might add a bit more saffron next time. The whole family really liked it.
Easy and so good. The corn I used was not really in season so this was perfect to make it have a delicious flavor.
Wow. So simple, so delicious.
