Corn Maquechoe

12 ears fresh corn
1/2 c. cooking oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 clove garlic, chopped fine
salt and cayenne pepper
black pepper to taste
1 egg yolk
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. milk

Cut and scrape the corn from the cob into a large bowl. Put the cooking oil, corn, bell peppers, onions, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper and salt in a large pot and cook down, stirring continuously so it will not stick. About 15 minutes before the corn is cooked, mix egg yolk, sugar and milk into a small bowl and heat. And beaten mixture to corn and cook until thickened and corn is done.

There is several different ways to cook this recipe, so I plan on posting some more of them. You will love all of them.
