The most yummy corn dish you can add a little extra sugar if you wish but I find it unnecessary as the baby corn or sweetcorn has enough sugar
Ingredients:
8 young corn on the cob (sweetcorn)
10 baby onions
4 rashers smoked back bacon, cubed
3gem lettuce
50g butter
olive oil
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Peel the onions
2. place them in a pot of cold water and bring to the boil
3. reduce the heat and simmer for 10min
4. once cooked remove and halve the onions,lengthwise, remove roots at this point
5. meanwhile cut the corn from the cob
6. and boil gently for 5-8 min with out any salt (salt hardens the corn)
7. fry the bacon in a little olive oil till crisp
8. finely slice the gem lettuce
9. once the corn is cooked drain and place in a large bowl
10. add about 1/4 cup of the corn water back to the corn
11. add the onions and butter
12. stir
13. stir in bacon
14. only add the lettuce when ready to serve
15. season with salt and pepper
