This summery combination of corn, tomatoes, and basil gets a subtle kick of flavor from Old Bay seasoning.
Old Bay seasoning is typically used on seafood, especially on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but here it infuses sweet summer corn and tomatoes with a subtle kick of flavor. Top with some fresh basil and you’ve got the perfect summer side dish. Serve with my Maryland-Style Crab Cakes or Crispy Tilapia Fingers with Lemon and Garlic Mayonnaise.
What you’ll need to make Chesapeake Corn, Tomatoes & Basil
How to make It
Combine the corn and 1-1/4 cups water in a 10-inch skillet or medium saucepan.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes — or until the corn is tender-crisp and there are about 2 tablespoons of water left in the pan (it’s fine to eyeball it; it doesn’t need to be exact).
Stir in the butter, tomatoes, Old Bay, and continue cooking until the butter is melted and the tomatoes are warmed through.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Stir in the basil and serve warm.
