Ingredients

1 cup of mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or shiitake)
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn if using fresh)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Juice of 1/2 lime (optional)

Directions

Chop the onion.
Clean and prepare mushrooms.
Slice mushrooms.
If fresh, boil and Cut the kernels off the cob.
In a large skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Keep cooking until mushrooms are brown.
Add Kernels, cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through and slightly caramelize for a sweet, slightly crispy texture. Transfer the sautéed corn and mushrooms to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. If you’re using frozen corn, make sure it’s completely thawed before adding.
You can squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish for a burst of zesty flavor.

Notes

Fresh corn on the cob adds a sweet, crunchy texture to the dish, but frozen corn works just as well when you’re short on time. You can even use canned corn if that’s what you have available. Feel free to mix and match different types of mushrooms to add layers of flavor. Shiitake mushrooms give a deeper, umami taste, while cremini or button mushrooms are lighter and more subtle. For an extra pop of flavor, consider topping the sautéed corn with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream, if you like creamy textures.
