Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large ears corn, husked
2 to 4 tablespoons crème fraîche or heavy cream
1 large shallot, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Working in a large bowl, cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife and set aside. Scrape back of knife several times against cobs to extract remaining corn pulp, scraping into a large glass measure. (You should have at least 3/4 cup of corn pulp. If not, add 2 tablespoons crème fraîche.) Transfer pulp to a blender and purée with 2 tablespoons crème fraîche until smooth.
  • Cook shallot in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in kernels, then add corn purée, water, salt, and pepper and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until kernels are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in basil to taste.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It turned out just as delicious! The creamed corn was creamy and flavorful, and the basil added a nice touch of freshness.

I accidentally used dried basil instead of fresh, and it still turned out great! The dried basil gave the dish a more intense flavor that I really liked. I'll definitely be using dried basil next time I make this recipe.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, and maybe some cayenne pepper for a little kick. Otherwise, it was a good basic creamed corn recipe.
