HOMESTYLE CREAM CORN

corn creamed

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
