Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Sweet yellow corn
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 2-3 Jalapeños diced
  • 2 Green onions
  • ¼ bunch Cilantro diced
  • 1 tsp Salt plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp Black pepper plus more to taste

Method
 

  1. Roast the Jalapeños: Place the diced jalapeños in a dry cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook them, rolling them around the pan occasionally, until the outsides begin to cook and darken slightly.
  2. Make the Base: Transfer the roasted jalapeños to a blender. Add the green onions, cilantro, and half of the corn. Blend until the mixture is chunky.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat in the skillet. Return the chunky corn mixture to the pan. Add the remaining corn, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  4. Thicken and Finish: Simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes, or until it has slightly thickened. Stir in the butter and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.
