Instructions

Melt the ghee in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until softened and fragrant. Add the frozen corn to the pan, and cook until softened and heated through, stirring occasionally – about 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve warm!

Notes

I find Cotija cheese near the cream cheese in our local grocery store. If you can’t find it near you, whole fat feta cheese is probably the next closest thing!
