DIRECTIONS
- 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 (I took this to mean reduced a bit?).
- 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.
