Autumn Creamed Corn from the Hobbit Gardener
Hullo Friends! It’s Dudo Chubb, the Hobbit Gardener. Enjoy this wonderful autumn recipe!
Corn season has finally arrived! This morning I picked up some yellow corn from the Michel Delving market that was so fresh we could eat it raw. Must have been picked this morning. Did you know you could eat corn raw? You can if it has been picked within a few hours, at least the sweet corn we get. I was inspired by a recipe of Adelard Took’s to make creamed corn, which is quite a treat when the corn is so fresh. I added some nutmeg, and a little more butter to the original recipe.
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp butter
8 ears corn, husks and silk removed
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
A wonderful addition to any meal. Enjoy this wonderful autumn recipe!
