I planted corn this year and our rabbits had a feast, destroying every sprout except for the 10 or 15 I threw in the raised beds. It grew and produced but I was too late to harvest and it dried up a bit. Got 9 nice ears but not for regular consumption. I made chowder instead or re hydrate the kernel and then pulverize them with the immersion blender. I planted white corn and I used the silage to put into a new raised bed. Everything in the chowder today came from the garden except the dairy of course.
Corn Chowder
6 ears corn cut off the cob
1 medium onion chopped
1 jalapeño, diced fine
1 clove of garlic
1 tbl butter and olive oil
3 sprigs of fresh thyme
2 cups of milk
1 cup veggie broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup buttermilk cause I had it leftover
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste.
I sautéed the corn, onions, jalapeños and garlic in the butter and oil till the onions started to become translucent. I added the thyme, milk and broth next and let the mixture come to a simmer for 15 minutes. I ran the immersion blender through after removing the thyme leaving it still a bit chunky then added the cream, Parmesan and buttermilk to finish. Salt and pepper to taste.
