Nice flavors. With fresh corn in season, We like trying new things. This is really nice, specially with good fresh corn. I would like to try it with fresh mint instead of basil also.
Not really a hard dish, I think cutting the kernels off the cob was the hardest part. Well, maybe cleaning up the mess from cutting the kernels off the cob 😉

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
