Ingredients

Sweet and Sour Onions

Cream Corn Custard

Roasted Corn

Red Lentil Pasta

  • 8 oz red lentil gluten-free pasta
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil extra virgin

Garnish

  • 2-3 Tbsp Italian flat leaf parsley
  • 2-3 Tbsp chives chopped finely

Instructions

How to Make Sweet and Sour Onions

  • Heat a small pan over medium heat, and add the extra virgin olive oil. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute.
  • Add the sliced onions, and kosher salt cook for 2 minutes, the onions should start to soften.
  • Stir the rice vinegar into the onions, and reduce the heat too low.
  • Cook for 30 minutes, the liquid will reduce and emulsify, the onions will become very tender.
  • Remove from the pan and cool.

How to make Cream Corn Custard

  • Puree the corn kernels and plant milk together. Run the blender on high for about 3 minutes.
  • Place the puree in a pan, and cook over medium-low heat. It is very important to stir the corn pudding with a rubber spatula. The corn pudding will stick to the bottom of the pan very easily, so tiring and scraping the bottom of the pan is key.
  • Cook until thick about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the pan and cool.

How to Make Roasted Corn

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, and stir to evenly coat the corn.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, the corn should be slightly roasted and tender.

How to Make Red Lentil Pasta

  • Follow the directions of the manufacturer.
  • Once cooked rinse and cool the pasta under cold water.
  • Toss with the extra virgin olive oil.

Assembly

  • This pasta dish can be served warm as well, and is a wonderful option. It is very simple, all you need to do is not cool the finished components.
  • Place the gluten-free pasta back in the pot in which you cooked the pasta.
  • Add the corn pudding stir to combine, and add enough to coat creating a cream pasta.
  • The sweet and sour onion and roasted corn kernels add next.
  • Finish with chopped chives and Italian flat-leaf parsley.
  • Place in a serving bowl or individual plates. I like to add a drizzle of corn custard around the plate.
