Ingredients
- 4 corn cobs, kernels cut off (or 17¾ oz frozen corn)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 pepper, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1¾ oz butter
- 6½ Tbsp double cream
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sugar
Method
- Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat and fry the onion and pepper for 5 minutes, until soft.
- Cut the kernels from the cobs and scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to catch the milky juices. Add the corn and its juices to the pan with the tomatoes, Cajun seasoning and sugar.
- Simmer for 12 minutes, stirring now and then, until the corn is tender.
- Stir in the cream and simmer for 2 minutes more — the sauce should just coat the corn.
- Season with salt, scatter with the spring onions, and serve.
