Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Chop the onion very finely. Place the onion, coconut milk, water, tomato puree, turmeric, and salt to taste in a pan.1 onion + 1 cup coconut milk/ 240 ml + 1 cup water/ 240 ml + ½ cup tomato puree/ 125 ml + 1 teaspoon turmeric + fine sea salt
  2. Cook corn: Cut the corn into two or three pieces, place the pieces in the sauce, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer, turning the corn around from time to time until the corn is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.4 small corn on the cob
  3. Blend sauce: When the corn is cooked, you could take it out of the sauce and puree the sauce and the onions in it. That is optional, but it makes for a more velvety sauce.
  4. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately with millet cooked in vegetable broth, for instance.cilantro + cooked millet

Notes

  • Corn: I used pre-cooked corn that comes vacuum-packed. That is why the corn is ready in such a short time.
