Corn with Bacon & Mushrooms Recipe

6 servings, about 2/3 cup each

Active Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 3 cups sliced mixed mushrooms, such as oyster, shiitake and/or baby bella
  • 4 ears corn, kernels cut from cob (see Tip)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
  2. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to release their juices, about 3 minutes more. Add corn kernels and water and cook until the corn is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in chopped bacon and season with salt and pepper.

Tips & Notes

  • Tip: To remove kernels, stand a cob on its stem end in a bowl and slice them off with a sharp, thin-bladed knife.
