How to Make Sauteed Yellow Corn And Pecans

If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, steam it in a saucepan with a small amount of water over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until heated through. Drain any excess water.
While corn is steaming (or immediately if using fresh corn), melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pecans and sauté, stirring constantly, until lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the optional red onion to the skillet with the pecans and sauté for another minute until softened.
Add the steamed or fresh corn and chopped tomatoes to the skillet.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the flavors have melded.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
