Boiled corn on the cob is a true embodiment of simplicity and natural flavor. This recipe, known since ancient times, is widely popular in European cuisine. Milk corn boiled in salted water retains its juiciness, sweetness, and tender texture. The light aroma of fresh corn is especially pronounced when butter is added, making the dish even richer. Such corn is perfect as a standalone dish or a side to meat and fish. Interestingly, in some countries it is boiled right in the leaves, preserving its natural taste and aroma. The simplicity of preparation and naturalness make this recipe universal and beloved in many families.
