Creamed Corn With Gorgonzola Tomatoes And Pine Nuts Recipes

CLASSIC CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Remove kernels: Stand a cob of corn on a kitchen-towel-lined baking sheet. With a sharp knife, slice downward to remove kernels. Repeat with remaining ears. With the edge of a soup spoon, scrape downward to remove pulp.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn kernels, pulp, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until corn is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add cream and sugar; simmer, uncovered, until cream has thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

CREAM CORN LIKE NO OTHER

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, combine the corn, cream, salt, sugar, pepper and butter. Whisk together the milk and flour, and stir into the corn mixture. Cook stirring over medium heat until the mixture is thickened, and corn is cooked through. Remove from heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve hot.

BETTER THAN GRANNIE'S CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent.
• 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.
• 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.

CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Scrape corn kernels from cobs, running knife edge along cobs to squeeze out juices. (If the corn is not very fresh, then blanch in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes before scraping kernels from cobs.)
• Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Drop in butter and melt until foamy. Add corn, garlic and juices. Season with salt and cook until kernels become tender. Pour in milk and simmer until milk is almost gone. Pour in cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve.

CREAMED CORN WITH GORGONZOLA, TOMATOES AND PINE NUTS

• Scrape kernels off cob. Set a saucepan over medium heat, add kernels and cream, and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover, and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Stir in blue cheese and pepper; continue cooking uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• In a small pan over medium heat, toast pine nuts until fragrant and golden, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Divide tomato slices among plates, and top with corn. Top with toasted pine nuts; garnish with fresh basil.
