Corn cream

2	shallots
3 grams	salt
300 grams	blanched corn kernels
100 grams	vegetable broth
150 grams	cream
2 sprigs	lovage
	white wine vinegar

First cut the shallots in half and clean them, now chop them. Then add a drizzle of oil to a hot pan and glaze the shallots on a medium heat. Also add the salt. Once the shallots have softened add the blanched corn kernels with the vegetable broth, the cream and the lovage. Let the liquid reduce on a medium heat till almost everything has evaporated. Then remove the sprigs of lovage and transfer everything into a blender. Blend this till smooth. This takes at least 5 minutes. Now also add a drizzle of the white wine vinegar to give the cream some freshness. Normally I always add a binder to a cream to prevent it from splitting, but corn has so much starch that it binds on it’s own. After that pass it through a fine sieve and use a ladle to make it a bit easier. Then transfer it into a piping bottle and keep it in your fridge.
