Summer Creamed Corn

Ingredients

  • 8 cobs of corn, husked
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • ⅓ cup diced shallot

  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

Directions

  1. Cut corn kernels from cob using a sharp knife. There should be about 4 cups.
  2. Heat oil in a medium frypan over medium-low heat. Sauté shallots until softened, about 1 – 2 minutes. Add garlic, thyme and bay leaves; sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in white wine, loosening any browned bits, and bring to a simmer for 1 minute. Add corn kernels and cream.
