Instructions

  1. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs with a knife. If you use frozen corn, thaw it.
  2. Blend the kernels with 200 ml of milk until you have a fairly smooth purée.
  3. Pour the purée into a saucepan with the rest of the milk, the cinnamon stick and the salt.
  4. Cook over low heat, stirring often, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon.
  5. Remove the cinnamon stick, then add the sugar, butter and vanilla, and stir for 2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot in bowls, dusted with ground cinnamon.

Variations and tips

Savory version. Halve the sugar and serve the savory kosereva with a little melted butter, like a rustic corn porridge.

Using what's easy to find. Canned sweet corn, drained and blended, replaces fresh cobs with very good results.
