For a richer flavor, consider using roasted corn kernels. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a delightful kick. Garnish with extra fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
Indulge in the sweet harmony of creamed corn, perfectly complemented by the bright acidity of tomatoes and the refreshing zest of fresh herbs. This simple side dish transforms humble ingredients into a culinary delight.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (1 minute)
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Ensure the onion doesn't brown.
Stir in the fresh corn kernels. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese and water. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gently stir in the diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, and chopped basil. (1 minute)
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (1 minute)
Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors.
