No Cream Creamed Corn Recipes

NO-CREAM CREAMED CORN WITH APPLEWOOD SMOKED BACON

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the corn kernels off the cobs. Put one-third of the kernels in a blender (reserve the other two-thirds in a bowl) and puree. Strain out the corn juice and reserve (discard the solid puree).
• In a medium saute pan, render the bacon over low heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain off most of the fat from the meat, leaving a small amount in the pan. Add the onions and cook over medium heat until tender and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved corn kernels and continue to cook until the corn is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small saucepan, cook the corn juice over medium heat, whisking constantly, until a thick pudding forms, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the corn and bacon mixture with the corn juice pudding. Add the chives and serve warm.

CREAMED CORN WITHOUT CREAM

Steps:

• Grate the corn on the large holes of a box grater placed over a wide bowl. If you wrap plastic wrap around the 3 other sides of the grater, the splashes will go into the bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and add shallots if using. Cook, stirring, until shallot is tender and fragrant, about 2 minutes, and add the corn and salt to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture is sweet and creamy. Taste and adjust salt. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and remove from the heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

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.

NO-CREAM CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Purée 3 cups corn kernels with 2 cups water until smooth. Strain mixture through sieve. Discard solids.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat, add leeks and salt, and sauté 1 minute. Add remaining 5 cups corn, and sauté 2 minutes more.
• Add corn purée to corn-leek mixture, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring often. Mixture should be thick and creamy. Remove from heat, and stir in dill. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

CREAM CORN LIKE NO OTHER

CREAMLESS CREAM CORN

Steps:

• Shuck half the corn and remove the kernels from the husks. Place the corn in a blender and discard the cobs and husks. Purée the corn with 1/3 cup water. Press the purée through a fine sieve and reserve.
• Shuck the remaining corn, cut the kernels from the cobs, and reserve. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and pepper and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the reserved corn, salt, and 1/2 cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is almost tender, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, transfer the strained corn purée into a double boiler set over barely simmering water. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the liquid thickens to the consistency of heavy cream, about 3 minutes. Season the purée with salt and pepper. Remove the corn and onion mixture from the heat and stir in the corn cream. Add the tarragon and adjust the seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper.

IOWA CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Grate 6 ears of corn on the large holes of a box grater into a bowl. Carefully slice off kernels from remaining 3 cobs using a sharp knife; transfer to bowl. Scrape cobs with back of the blade to extract creamy liquid into bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in corn with liquid, thyme, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, stirring often, until corn is tender but still has a slight bite, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons butter until melted. Serve immediately.
