  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.
