side dishes | This creamy side dish recipe is part of our Perfectly Simple series. Ingredients
1 Tbsp light butter 1/4 cup scallion(s), minced 2 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, or fresh corn (no need to thaw frozen corn) 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour 1 cup fat-free skim milk 1/8 tsp table salt, or more to taste 1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
Instructions
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add corn and sauté 1 minute to heat through (or slightly longer if using frozen corn). Add flour and stir to coat corn and scallions. Add milk and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, until mixture thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
Notes This creamy side dish makes an excellent partner for grilled or roasted chicken, pork tenderloin or lean beef. Thanks to a little flour (for thickening) and nonfat milk, you can enjoy this ordinarily high-fat classic guilt-free.
