Tomato, Corn and Basil Summer Sauté
I make this recipe every summer in different variations. Sometimes I use cherry tomatoes; others, it's chopped beefsteak or even Marzano tomatoes. The corn might be freshly shucked and sliced off the cob or leftover from last night's dinner. Out of basil, I have used parsley, cilantro, and even tarragon. This recipe is a formula for using the best produce summer offers and also making the most of what you have on hand.
Ingredients

Recipe Notes
