Chive corn with butter and flour is a delightful and creamy side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings or as a comforting addition to any meal. Combining the sweetness of fresh corn with the savory notes of chives and rich heavy cream, this recipe delivers a luxurious taste with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Remove the husks and silk from the corn cobs.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off each cob. Set the kernels aside in a large bowl.
- Finely chop the chives and set them aside.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the corn kernels to the pan.
- Sauté the corn for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the kernels start to become tender.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the corn kernels.
- Stir well to combine the flour with the corn, ensuring an even coating. This helps to thicken the mixture slightly.
- Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the flour from burning.
- Gradually add the 2 cups of water to the pan, stirring constantly to create a smooth mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the corn is fully cooked and the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream.
- Continue to simmer the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the cream to heat through and thicken the sauce.
- Once the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
- Stir in the finely chopped chives. The residual heat will gently cook the chives, enhancing their flavor without losing their bright green color.
- Taste the chive corn mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot as a side dish. This chive corn pairs well with grilled meats, seafood, or can be enjoyed on its own.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality corn for the best flavor and texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch.
- Feel free to adjust the quantities of chives and cream based on your personal preference for herbs and richness.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend only half of the corn mixture and mix it with the remaining whole kernels.
- Consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the overall flavor.
Chive corn with butter and flour is a versatile and delicious dish that's sure to be a hit at any dining table. The combination of sweet corn, aromatic chives, and creamy sauce creates an irresistible flavor profile that pairs well with a variety of main courses. Enjoy this simple yet sumptuous dish, and feel free to experiment with additional flavors to make it your own.
