Cream-less Corn

Corn is abundant in the summer time and I absolutely love its sweet flavor. But creamed corn is loaded with fat and calories I simply cannot rationalize eating as much as I would like. This recipe gives a nice buttery flavor to the corn without all the calories.

CREAM-LESS CORN

INGREDIENTS:

- 3 to 5 ears of fresh corn, sliced off the cob
- 1/2 of a medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 4 tablespoons light margarine, divided
- a pinch (about 1/8-1/4 teaspoon) grated nutmeg
- salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place a medium skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the margarine.
2. Add the onion and garlic and sweat (NOT sauté) until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Crank up the heat to medium and add the corn and the remaining margarine. Cook until the corn is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Add more salt and pepper. Finish with the nutmeg.
4. Enjoy:)
