Great! Ready in about 30 minutes and delicious! Seems to be an older recipe - I hope you will add a photo and feature it so more will find it; maybe during corn season.
I used 4 ears of corn, for ~ 2.5 C., and 1 C tomato...Sautéed corn & tomato w/half of cooked onions for 3-4 min - wasn't sure they would cook enough to my liking under the broiler. Added 1 diced jalepeno, which added a nice kick. Used lemon juice as called for; might also work with lime. A great summer meal.
