Corn cream

Corn cream

Servings 40 dishes

Ingredients

  • 2 shallots
  • 3 g salt
  • 300 g blanched corn kernels
  • 100 g vegetable broth
  • 150 g cream 35% fat
  • 2 sprigs lovage
  • white wine vinegar

Instructions

  • First cut the shallots in half and clean them, now chop them.
  • Then add a drizzle of oil to a hot pan and glaze the shallots on a medium heat. Also add the salt.
  • Once the shallots have softened add the blanched corn kernels with the vegetable broth, the cream and the lovage. Let the liquid reduce on a medium heat till almost everything has evaporated.
  • Then remove the sprigs of lovage and transfer everything into a blender. Blend this till smooth. This takes at least 5 minutes.
  • Now also add a drizzle of the white wine vinegar to give the cream some freshness.
  • Normally I always add a binder to a cream to prevent it from splitting, but corn has so much starch that it binds on it’s own.
  • After that pass it through a fine sieve and use a ladle to make it a bit easier. Then transfer it into a piping bottle and keep it in your fridge.
