Cream-less Corn
This is not your average cafeteria creamed corn.
Ingredients
6 ears sweet corn
1 onion (sweet or storage)
6 cloves garlic
4 oz butter
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
12 oz lager beer (like Highlife or PBR)
1 tsp salt
Method
- Cut the kernels from the ears of corn into a large bowl and then scrape the back of the knife against the cob capturing as much of the starch as possible.
- Slice the onions and garlic thinly.
- Heat the butter in a large frying or sautee pan until foamy.
- Add the paprika and cayenne and briefly fry until fragrant.
- Add the onion and garlic and sweat until tender.
- Add the beer and let reduce by half.
- Add the corn kernels and any liquid in the bowl and salt.
- Cook until the corn is bright yellow and tender.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
