Corn has a natural affinity for basil and chives, and cornmeal gives this pudding some extra corn flavor. The cheese is optional, I suppose, but it makes it that much more delicious. I would.
<br />This is a good summer side with grilled chicken, ribs, steak, salmon, shrimp...But I’ve also made it with frozen corn for Thanksgiving, substituting thyme and/or parsley for basil/chives.
