Summer Corn & Basil Ragù

A brothy, buttery late-summer ragù that happens when you overshop at the farmers' market. Almost all pantry — corn, basil, a little wine, a spoon of white miso to finish.

Method

1. 6 ears sweet corn · 3 cups water
   i. Scrape kernels into a bowl. Simmer the stripped cobs in 3 cups water for 20 minutes for a quick corn stock. Strain.
2. olive oil · 1 shallot · 3 garlic cloves
   ii. Heat a wide pan over medium. Coat with olive oil, sweat shallot until translucent, 4 minutes. Add garlic, 30 seconds.
3. the scraped kernels · salt
   iii. Add kernels and a pinch of salt. Cook 3 minutes, until they pop and turn glossy.
4. 1 cup white wine · 2 cups corn stock · 1 tbsp white miso
   iv. Deglaze with wine; reduce by half. Add 2 cups stock and the miso. Simmer gently 8 minutes — it should thicken to a loose ragù.
5. 3 tbsp butter · 1 cup basil · black pepper
   v. Off heat, stir in butter and torn basil. Taste; pepper heavily.
6. toasted bread or polenta
   vi. Spoon onto toasted bread or polenta.
