Fired-Up Creamed Corn
This is creamed corn with a little swagger: sweet kernels, roasted chile warmth, lime and a creamy finish that knows exactly what to do next to barbecue, burgers or a cedar-plank dinner. It is comfort food that still brings the heat.
Ingredients
Method
- Warm Ellbee's Jalapeño Olive Oil in a wide skillet. Add 4 cups corn and cook over medium-high heat until browned in spots. Add shallot and Ellbee's Zesty Gourmet Garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Blend the remaining 2 cups corn with half-and-half until mostly smooth. Add it to the skillet with cream cheese and stir until the sauce is creamy and the corn is coated.
- Finish with Ellbee's Peach White Balsamic Vinegar, lime zest and juice. Season to taste, then top with cotija, cilantro and chile before serving.
Notes
Time: 25 min
Kitchen tip: For a shortcut, use frozen corn—but let it thaw and dry well first so it actually browns instead of steams.
