Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 2 medium onions
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 3 medium carrots, cubed
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 2 cups cream style corn
- 1 cup coconut milk or unsweetened Almond milk
- 1 cup toasted cornmeal
Directions:
1. In a pot, combine 1 cup of water, 2 medium onions (chopped), and 5 cloves of garlic (minced).
2. Simmer the mixture over medium heat until the onions become clear and translucent.
3. Stir in 2 teaspoons of sea salt, cubed carrots, chopped celery, cream-style corn, and either coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
4. Gradually add 1 cup of toasted cornmeal to the pot while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until it thickens to a porridge-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Pour the cooked mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the corn pie becomes firm and the top is lightly golden.
9. Once the corn pie is firm and cooked through, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
10. Cut the corn pie into slices and serve as a delicious side dish or main course.
The result should be a flavorful and hearty Corn Pie with a slightly crispy top. Enjoy your homemade creation!
