SWEET CORN CREAM:
makes about 2 cups, you will have extra

ingredients:
1.5 c almonds, blanched, skins removed
1.5 cups corn kernels, blanched (fresh or frozen)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1-2 tablespoons agave or honey (to taste)
salt, to taste

method:
In a high speed blender (we used a Vitamix), puree all ingredients together. Taste and adjust. If you want it more sweet, add more agave, more tart, add more lemon, more rich, add more olive oil. And, of course, add salt to taste.

Note, that the corn flavor will intensify if you let it sit for a bit. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. This can be made up to 2 days in advance.
