Corn Puree 

Simple sweet corn purée

 

**********************

I wanted to share this recipe because of its simplicity and diversity. Sweet corn is sometimes overlooked, but is a nourishing food that increases in levels of antioxidants when cooked. The other property it contains of course is corn starch, which means it will thicken when heated, making it perfect to add to soups, as well as being a delicious accompaniment for a main dish.

Top Recipe Tips for June 2011

Flower Salad

This month – it’s all about using lovage and chive flowers.Keep an eye out for unusual sources of herbs.

We are currently buying wild garlic leaves and flowers from our butcher who has an abundance growing outside his factory.

I am also keeping a close on eye the hawthorn bushed near my house. They are about to flower – and the beautiful honey perfume will be perfect for puds!
