Ingredients
- Serves 6
- ½ onion, finely diced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 8 ears corn, husks and silk removed
- Grated fresh nutmeg, couple of grinds
- 2/3 cup vegetable stock or water
- ½ cup cream
- Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
HOMESTYLE CREAM CORN
Method
- To remove the kernels from the corn, be aware that it does get messy
- I stand a corn cob vertically over a large bowl and I often do it in the sink to prevent the corn juices covering my kitchen
- Using a sharp knife, use long, downward strokes of the knife to remove the kernels from the cob
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter on medium heat
- Add the chopped onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes until translucent
- Add the corn to the onions in the saucepan
- Add the stock or water and reduce heat to a simmer, cover
- Cook for 10-15 minutes until the corn is tender
- Add the nutmeg, and cream to the corn
- Cook, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until the cream has slightly thickened
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days
Comments
Corn has arrived and this homemade version of creamed corn is simply irresistible. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or pork, although I love it on hot buttered toast.
Thanks to ROSEDALE ORCHARD for providing the corn used in the cooking demonstration at the Otago Farmers Market
