Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
- 2 Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the corn kernels to the pan and stir well to coat with the spiced mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Using an immersion blender, pulse the mixture slightly to break down some of the corn for a creamier texture. (Alternatively, transfer half the mixture to a blender, blend briefly, and return it to the pan.)
Continue to simmer the creamed corn for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or spices if desired.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if using.
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
