Creamed Corn

Today's Thanksgiving so I have yet another "thanksgiving" recipe for you. Perhaps not a traditional thanksgiving recipe but one that goes perfect with the turkey.

Ingredients;

1 shallot diced
1 tbsp butter
1 teaspoon salt
8 ears fresh corn
1 sprig rosemary, bruised
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 tbsp yellow cornmeal
1 cup heavy cream
fresh ground black pepper to taste

In a large bowl remove the kernels of the corn with either a knife or a "kernel remover" (see my picture).



After the kernels have been removed scrape of any remaining pulp and milk of the cob using the backside of a knife.




Set the corn aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until soft. Add the corn and pulp mixture and cook over medium/high until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary and turmeric.



Stir for 2 minutes then sprinkle the cornmeal onto the saucepan and combine well.




 Add the cream and cook until the corn has softened a bit. Season with pepper and more salt if needed. Remove the rosemary before serving.




Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
