    apartmentcooker's Notes: I got this idea from the brilliant writers of "Ideas in Food" - who commented on their blog a few years ago that really fresh sweet corn produces so many of it's own juices that you can cook...

Serves 4

  1. Cut the corn from the cob, making sure to cut as closely to the cob as possible, cutting over a pot or bowl so that any and all juices from the corn are utilized.

    Ask a question about this step
  2. Stew the corn over low heat, stirring occasionally. The corn will soften, and the liquid will become thick. Add the smashed garlic and continue to cook until the mixture resembles the texture of polenta, 20-30 minutes.

    Ask a question about this step
  3. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with a pat of butter and a sprinkling of Parmesan. Stir in the chives, if using.

This looks heavenly, and I love the idea of stewing the corn in its own juices.
