sweet corn & melted onion butter
yeilds 1 pound of butter
ingredients
453g (1 # unsalted), good quality butter, room temperature
2 ears sweetcorn, kernels trimmed
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium white or yellow onion
2g (a few turns on the mill) black pepper, course ground
5g (1 teaspoon) sea salt (I like Maldon or Fleur de Sel)
5 g (1 teaspoon) espelette chili
equipment
sauté pan
food processor
food film (if you are freezing butter)
parchment or wax paper
spatula
steps
Place sauté pan over medium heat.
Add one tablespoon of butter. Once melted add garlic, onions and sweet corn. Cook until garlic and onions are translucent and corn is soft. Add espelette, pepper and salt. Cook for 1 more minute.
Remove corn mixture from the pan onto a tray or plate. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Combine corn mixture with remaining butter in a food processor and process until mostly smooth. I actually like this butter a little chunky, it feels very summery to me.
Wrap in paper, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Or, wrap in paper, then food film and store in freezer for up to 6 months.
