Corn Puree with Fresh Herbs

Method

• Step 1

  In a medium-sized saucepan, combine corn kernels, garlic and vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 20 minutes or until the corn is tender and cooked through.

• Step 2

  Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside cool for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the corn mixture to a blender or food processor.

• Step 3

  Add the chopped thyme, protein powder and olive oil to the blender.

• Step 4

  Blend on high speed until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy purée. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tbsp of vegetable stock at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

• Step 5

  Season the corn purée to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

• Step 6

  If adding extra protein, blend whey protein powder until well combined.

• Step 7

  Divide the puréed corn into four equal servings (250ml each) and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later use.
