Skillet-Glazed Corn with Ginger, Lime, and Coconut
Servings: 2
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 large ears or corn, husks and silks removed
- 1/4 cup water
- juice from 1 lime
- pinch of salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Directions:
Heat the coconut oil over medium heat in a skillet. Sauté the garlic and ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the corn and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Turn to coat with the oil, garlic, and ginger. Pour in the water and lime juice, increase heat to medium-high, and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes until corn is tender.
Remove the lid and continue cooking to allow the liquid to reduce to just a few teaspoons. Turn off heat. Brush the glaze over the corn and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve hot.
