Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to combine with the roux, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add the corn kernels to the pan and stir to coat them with the sauce. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and heated through.
Mix in the fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top, gently stirring to melt it into the sauce.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired. Serve warm.
