YOU NEED:

• 4 large ears of corn
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 cup water

• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Using a cheese grater, coarsely grate the kernels off of 2 ears of corn into a large
   bowl to create a pulp. Using a knife, remove the kernels off of the other 2 ears and add to the bowl with grated corn.
2. In a large pot, sauté onion in oil on medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the corn mixture and water to the pot and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add milk, chard, salt, and white pepper, and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Serve hot, topped with red pepper flakes and black pepper.
