Ingredients




5 ears shucked corn
2 tablespoons butter
3 shallots, peeled and sliced
cup fava beans, cleaned and blanched (see note)
cup cherry tomatoes, halved
cup fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley leaves
Salt and pepper

Preparation

1 If possible, grill corn, otherwise broil for approximately 2 minutes, until it appears a little bit charred. Cut kernels off cob. 2 In a warm saute pan, add butter and shallots. Cook until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add corn and cook about another 5 minutes. Add fava beans, cherry tomatoes and parsley. Toss completely to coat with butter. 3 Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature. 4 Note: To blanch beans, place them in boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. 5 Drain and run under cold water.
