Notes

CORN: It is ideal if you have the corn already cooked, which I often do in the summer months since we grill or boil corn a lot. But if you don’t have your corn already cooked, you can cut the raw kernels and add them right to the pan and let them cook for a few minutes – raw corn has a different, sweet, starchy taste that could be good here! Another option to save time would be canned or frozen corn. Definitely not as fresh-tasting but it would work. 🙂
