Sauteed Corn with Tarragon and Shallots

It's amazing what a touch of butter and tarragon can do for summer-fresh sauteed corn. Elegantly simple and addictively delicious, this makes a great side dish with any meat, poultry or fish. For the best flavor, use the freshest corn you can find.
Try this with our Pesto-Rubbed Butterflied Grilled ChickenSpiced Pork Roast or Lemon-Fennel Salmon.

  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, minced

Instructions
