We have been given some fresh corn by friends, since it was so fresh I didn't want any of the corn flavour to be removed so I boiled the corn. This dish is simple yet quick could be used as a side dish or plate filler.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 corn on the cob, remove husks
water

Optional Topping

1 tablespoon butter (optional) or margarine (optional)
salt, to taste (optional)
ground black pepper, to taste (optional)

Directions

1
In a large pot, enough to hold the corn, fill it with water to cover the corn (the corn should float).
2
On a medium heat allow the pot of water to boil. Once the water is boiled, add in the corn into the pot and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes depending on how soft you want your corn.
3
Drain water and remove corn on the cob. Be careful as cob will be extremely hot.
4
Top the corn with preferred seasons, herbs and spices. I prefer salt, pepper and butter.
5
Enjoy.

Makes great corn (and when there are leftovers, warming on the grill makes even BETTER corn!) All I wanted to add is that I add a little sugar to the water to make the corn sweeter!

I have always put my corn on the cob in cold water than boiled to cook and often wandered if that was the best way to do it. Boiling the water first was nice because I think the corn came out tastier and a brighter color because all the good stuff wasnt boiled out of the corn. Never thought about using black pepper, love the stuff and will give it a try. Made and reviewed for the Australia/NewZealand Forum's Recipe Swap #28.

This is my most favourite corn except this time it hurt my tooth as it's wobbly!
