Ingredients

  • 2 ears corn
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1
Grill corn in the husks, or roast in the oven; cut kernels from cob.

Step 2
In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in garlic and onions; reduce heat to low and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Stir in water and milk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Slowly stir in cornmeal, whisking thoroughly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking and burning. Season with salt and pepper; simmer 15 minutes more.

Step 4
When mixture is thick and the cornmeal is tender, stir in corn, sage and Parmesan cheese. Transfer to a large bowl to serve.
