Cooking with Chef David

Yellow Corn Veloute

“I really enjoy corn this time of year. This recipe is very versatile and can be used in different ways and delicious for both hot and cold preparations. It can be a hot or chilled soup, a sauce for a cold crab salad, as a sauce for a hot fish entrée.”

INGREDIENTS:

4 ears yellow corn shucked save the cob

1 ea white onions thinly sliced

2 stalks celery thinly sliced

1 ea leeks thinly sliced

3 ea garlic cloves thinly sliced

1 ea Yukon gold potato small diced

DIRECTIONS:

• In a large pot boil the cobs in 4 quarts of water until a strong flavor of corn is extracted and strain into a container.

• In the same pot coat bottom of the pan with oil and sweat onions, celery, leeks, garlic, for 5 mins on low heat, stirring to not create color on the vegetables.

• Add corn and sweat for three minutes.

• Add corn stock and potatoes and cook for 45 mins.

• Puree in blender and stain through a fine mesh strainer.

• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
