Corn and Tomato Scramble

By -
No eggs were cracked in the making of this recipe.
This was one of the dishes at the summer bbq, which seems so very long ago now! (Note: I believe this was 2012)


2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 1/4 pound tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped, keeping white and green pieces separate
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cups corn kernals (from 8 ears)

 Whisk together oil, vinegar, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Toss tomatoes with dressing.

 While tomatoes marinate, cook white parts of scallions in butter with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add corn and sauté until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool

 Stir together corn, tomatoes, and scallion greens.

  • Corn can be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before using.
