Instructions
Homemade Croutons
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F). While it heats up, mix 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp unsalted butter , 1 tsp dry mixed herbs and ⅛ tsp salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Add the cubed 150 g baguette and mix until evenly coated.
- Spread the baguette over a baking tray. Make sure it's one layer and no cubes are overlapping, then bake for 10 mins on the bottom shelf.
- Once golden and crispy, remove from the oven and set aside for later.
Corn Potage
- Wash 2 ears corn on the cob and slice off the kernels in rows. Cut the cores into thirds or quarters.
- Take a pot and heat it on medium. Melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter and add 100 g yellow onion (finely sliced). Fry until soft and golden, then turn down the heat to medium-low.
- Add 300 ml whole milk to the pot and add the cores of cob along half of the salt and pepper.Continue to heat until it reaches a low simmer (small bubbles around the edge). (Do not allow the milk to boil). Turn off the heat, remove the cores and discard.
- Add the kernels along with the other half of the salt and pepper, then turn the heat back on to low/medium-low.
- Heat until small bubbles start to appear around the edge, then remove the pot from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender and blitz until smooth. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender.)
- Pour the corn potage through a mesh sieve to make it smooth.
- Reheat on the stove if necessary, then serve with a drizzle of heavy cream and a sprinkling of homemade croutons. Enjoy!
Notes
- 1 ear of fresh corn is equal to approximately 200g (7oz) canned or frozen corn.
