Like most of
the foods we eat, it is vitally important to know whether they are fresh or
not. The same happens with corn or corn since experts recommend that it should
be as fresh as possible. So much so that the consumption time after harvest
should not exceed 4 hours, all this in order to preserve all its flavor and
aroma.
Not being
able to do the 4-hour thing, for obvious reasons, what we can do is not take
too long to boil the corn after buying it. The important thing is to know that
all these recommendations have a reason for being since corn grains undergo a
chemical reaction immediately after being harvested and that is that the sugar
turns into starch.
That is the
reason, then in order to enjoy a juicy, tender, and sweet corn, it is only
necessary to add 2 more ingredients to the pot, in addition to water and salt
and these are milk and butter.
The
ingredients are :
- 5 Corn or Corn
- 600 ml of water
- 1 liter of milk
- 80 gr. butter
- Salt
- A few sprigs of thyme (optional)
preparation:
1. clean
the corn, removing the soil and leaves, dividing them in half if necessary
2.In a deep pot pour the water and milk. Then add butter, sprigs of rosemary, and salt.
3.When the milk begins to boil, add the corn and let it boil for 10 minutes.
I have listened to those who have tried this way of preparing them and in comparison to the traditional cooking of water and salt, they assure that they will not eat corn otherwise. So now you know, to eat delicious corn.
