Corn-and-Tomato Scramble

From the kitchen of Carly

Sweet corn and juicy tomatoes come together in this bright, buttery scramble. Caramelized scallions add depth while a splash of cider vinegar keeps everything balanced. It's a late-summer side dish that tastes like peak season in a bowl.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 12 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 11 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 11 1/4 pounds tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 11 bunch scallions, finely chopped, keeping white parts and greens separate
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 14 cups corn kernels (from about 8 ears)

Instructions

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

  2. While tomatoes marinate, cook white parts of scallions in butter with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon 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.

  3. Stir together corn, tomatoes, and scallion greens.
