Description
A creamy and dreamy side dish that elevates any meal with fresh corn, cream, and butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of fresh, frozen, or canned corn
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: some shredded cheese for an extra decadent flair
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they’re soft and fragrant—about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the corn: Stir in the corn and let it warm through for about 5 minutes.
- Cream it up: Pour in the heavy cream and remaining tablespoon of butter, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Blend it: Use an immersion blender for a creamier texture or leave it chunky, based on your preference.
- Serve and enjoy: Once thick, serve warm and relish in the creamy delight!
Notes
Pair with roasted chicken, seasonal veggies, or as a dip for tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
