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.

• To make this fabulous purée, simply remove the outer husk. Then, cut off the kernels using a sharp knife and juice them.
• Put the liquid into a bowl over a pan of boiling water and stir occasionally until thick, which can take up to ten minutes.
• Once the purée thickens to a point where it will hold a ribbon on its own surface, it is ready to be passed.

What to serve it with?
