Creamed Corn

Ingredients

• •4 tablespoons butter
• •1/2 cup diced onion
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
• •1 cup heavy cream
• •1/2 cup vegetable broth (gluten-free)
• •2 tablespoons cornstarch
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• •1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. 1Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté diced onion until softened, about 3 minutes.
2. 2Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. 3Stir in corn kernels and broth, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
4. 4In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
5. 5Pour in heavy cream and the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
6. 6Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, then simmer for 2 minutes more until flavors meld.

💡 Creamed corn gets body by lightly crushing some kernels while leaving others whole; puréeing everything sacrifices the fresh corn texture.
