Creamy corn in a baking sleeve is a refined dish that combines the softness of butter with the spiciness of spices. The origins of this recipe can be linked to the tradition of baking corn on the cob, popular in various cuisines around the world. Here it gains a special character through the addition of sumac, aromatic herbs, and lemon juice that enhance the flavor. During baking, the corn becomes infused with creamy tenderness while spices create a delicate balance between sweetness and spiciness. This dish is perfect as a side or a light snack on its own. It can be served with light sauces or fresh vegetables, enjoying the natural juiciness of corn sealed in its own aroma.
