Creamed Corn With Shallots - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
5 ears fresh corn
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup shallot, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
Preparation
-
With a sharp knife, slice the kernels from the cob to yield about 3 cups; you don't need to cut too deeply since you only really want the tender tips of the kernels.
Place the kernels in a medium bowl; working with one cob at a time, stand the cob in the bowl and use the back of your knife to scrape the milk from the cob.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat and add the shallots, cooking, and stirring, until softened, about 1 minute; add the corn, cream, and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Simmer gently, stirring frequently, until cream has thickened, about 5 minutes; season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
