No-Cream Creamed Corn image

From Vegetarian Times-July/August 2010. Cream-style or creamed corn doesn't usually contain dairy, even in canned versions. Instead, the milky juice from fresh kernels is scraped from the cobs to thicken into a creamy sauce. This version enhances the "creamed" cooking process by using puréed corn as a base.
