Ingredients

1/2 onion, diced

1 tablespoon butter

2 pinches kosher salt

8 ears fresh corn

1 sprig fresh rosemary, bruised

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal

1 cup heavy cream

Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, place a paper bowl in the middle of the bowl. Resting the cob on the bowl in a vertical position remove only the tops of the kernel with a knife, using long smooth downward strokes and rotating the cob as you go. After the cob has been stripped, use the dull backside of your knife to scrape any remaining pulp and milk off the cob.
  3. Add the corn and pulp mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium high until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary. Sprinkle the corn with the sugar and turmeric. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the corn, using a whisk to combine well. Add the heavy cream and cook until the corn has softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the rosemary. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

This dish was the only dish people raved about at Thanksgiving, and demanded I make again. Huge time saving hack is to forget the fresh corn and use frozen. I think it turned out even better to be honest. I usually use six bags of frozen corn. I also added way more butter (a full stick) and a little more cream and corn flour. If at the end you taste it and it is not to die for add more cream and a lot of salt and pepper. The Rosemary is the secret ingredient that really nails it. My cousin tried to make it but I think she followed the recipe too closely and it wasn’t as good so don’t be afraid to add a lot more cream butter and salt to get it right needs to be.
