Corn whipped with Gruyere and Basil

This creamy corn whipped with gruyere is addictive. It makes a great side dish with any kind of meat or vegetable….or you could just eat a whole bowl like I do (:

Corn can be whipped into a creamy side dish

I am telling you now this will become a favourite.

I discovered it completely by accident. I was trying to work out what would be a good partner for a piece of grilled chicken with smokey chipotle chilli. I started with grilled corn but then I saw a picture of a bowl of creamed corn with basil, a recipe by Neil Perry and that inspired me and off I went. This will inspire you too I’m sure.

Whipped corn with pinenuts and gruyere

Most of my recipes are rooted deeply in what ever it is I have in the fridge and this followed the rule. I had a beautiful piece of Gruyere in there, and although it really is one of my favourite cheeses to eat,  I had a very good idea it would make this plate of corn AMAZING. And so it did.

For the most part I made this whipped corn with a bag of frozen corn. That’s what I had so that was it.  Frozen corn is so sweet and it stays that way when cooked. The corn “mash” is a bit like potato mash in that the more butter cream and cheese added, only makes you want it more.

I have later seen that the original recipe in Good Food has Parmesan in it. This is also a great tasting cheese to add, but I love the nutty fruity taste of Gruyere cheese.

You can skimp on that bit, but don’t try to skimp on the pureeing part. The smoother this whipped corn is the absolute better it is.

Other uses for whipped corn

Although this corn makes the perfect side dish for BBQ meats like Chicken, Lamb and even Beef it’s the perfect Vegetarian dish too and hey come on you really didn’t think I’d stop there did you? It’s gluten free and also easy to Veganise. Yes I said Veganise or is that Veganize?

Anyway it’s easy to make it dairy free. I know it’s hard to imagine but it is true and totally delish too.

Notes

Veganise this recipe:
  • Use 100 gm Nutalex ( vegan friendly "butter" in place of butter).
  • Add 125 ml of coconut cream in place of cows cream
  • Finally use Nutritional yeast in place of Gruyere cheese.
Nutritional Yeast is a tasty substitute for cheese.

    Your blog is looking so good. Your recipes always inspire me. I love corn and have just harvested quite a bit of it. Unfortunately I was away for a couple of weeks in January and when I came back it had all over-ripened. Never mind…we are finding ways to use it xx

    This one looks wonderfully tasty. I’m thinking it would be good as a warm dip as well. Great idea and I’d vote for using Gruyere cheese as well.

      Thanks Ron. I’d probably add more cheese if it was a dip. Great idea!
