Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 onion, diced
1 TBS butter
2 pinches kosher salt
8 ears fresh corn, cut off the cobs (or frozen after cutting off the cobs)
1 sprig fresh rosemary, bruised
1 TBS sugar
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 TBS yellow cornmeal
1 pint heavy cream
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent. After cutting/stripping the kernels off the cobs, use the dull backside of the knife to scrape any remaining pulp or milk from the cobs. Add the corn and pulp mixture to the onions in the saucepan and cook over medium high heat until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary and sprinkle the corn with the sugar and turmeric. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the corn and whisk to combine well. Add the heavy cream and cook until the corn has softened, about 2 - 3 minutes. Remove the rosemary and season with freshly ground pepper.
