Grilled Cream Corn with Parmesan

Our side dish for our last minute dinner party was brought by Evelyn- a delicious recipe from Giada De Laurentiis. Evelyn had watched an episode of her show that morning and became instantly inspired. Its easy to see how- this side dish screams summertime! It was bright, flavorful, and was the perfect pair with our stuffed chicken!

Ingredients:

* 6 ears of corn, husks and silks removed
* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
* Kosher salt and black pepper
* 1 tablespoon flour
* 3/4 cup heavy cream
* 1/3 cup whole milk
* 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

To Do:

* Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat gas or charcoal grill
* Grill the corn until tender, turning every 5-6 minutes. Total cook time will be around 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove kernels
* In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the corn and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
* Stir in flour, cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream. Simmer until the mixture thickens
* Place half the mixture in a food processor, blend until smooth.
* Pour the pureed mixture back into the skillet and add the milk, cheese, and parsley. Cook over low heat until warmed through.
* Season with more salt and pepper, to taste, and serve
