I slightly adapted this wonderful lemon-glazed corn on the cob recipe from
Eating Well magazine, August 2010. Photo is also from the magazine.
Think it doesn't get any better than
eating fresh-cooked corn on the cob with butter? How about actually cooking the corn in the butter?

Lemon-Garlic Glazed Corn on the Cob
Recipe Type:
Corn
Yields: 2 servings
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 8 min
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin
olive oil
2 cloves
garlic, minced
4 ears
corn, husk and silk removed
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed
lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground pepper
Preparation:
In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the
butter and olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant
but not browned, about 1 minute. Add corn, water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook, gently shaking the pan occasionally to turn the cobs, for 5 minutes.
Uncover and continue cooking, turning the cobs
occasionally, until all but a few tablespoons of liquid has evaporated,
approximately 2 to 4 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Serve the corn drizzled with the remaining lemon-garlic pan sauce.
