Creamed Corn with Chipotle Chilies
Naturally sweet summer corn contrasts beautifully with spicy and smoky ingredients, such as the chipotle chilies used here. Rich, silky heavy cream lends a complementary sweetness and pleasing richness to the dish and prevents the spice of the chilies from overwhelming the other ingredients.
