Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1 ear yellow corn, husked
- 1 (6.0-ounce) container goat cheese crumbles
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 (14.1-ounce) can whole hearts of palm, drained and finely chopped
Method
Carefully remove corn kernels from the cob and set aside in a small bowl.
Working over a large bowl, use the dull edge of a table knife to scrape down the length of the cob on all sides to remove as much "milk" as possible; discard cob.
To the large bowl, add cheese and lemon zest and juice and mash with a fork until creamy and well combined.
Stir in reserved corn kernels, parsley and hearts of palm.
Garnish with more parsley and serve. Or, cover and chill before serving.
