Ingredients

1/2 cups butter

3 shallots, chopped

1 tablespoon finely chopped canned chipotle chiles

3 packages frozen petite white corn kernels, thawed and well drained

2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Fresh thyme sprigs, optional

Preparation

In a large, heavy frying pan over medium heat melt the butter. When hot, add the shallots and saute, stirring until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the chiles and stir for 30 seconds longer.

Add the corn and chopped or dried thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a warmed serving dish. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve at once.
