With the holiday season upon us, there are countless family dinners, which means lots and lots of food. While the holidays are about family and spending time with loved ones, let’s talk about the food. Sure, you can make the same recipes year after year. Maybe it’s a tradition, maybe it’s just what’s done, but I sometimes get an itch to try something new.

Corn Muffins with Creamy Lime Sauce is the perfect recipe to add to a big family dinner (or anytime). While they may look like ordinary muffins, they’re so much more. Unlike other corn muffins, Corn Muffins with Creamy Lime Sauce uses corn kernels, not cornmeal. The batter is a combination of flour and breadcrumbs with sautéed onions and corn kernels sprinkled throughout. The kernels give the muffins a fun, textured crunch, while the onions add a savoury flavour.

The flavour of the muffins is heightened by the Creamy Lime Sauce. The combination of yogurt, onion, lime, ginger, cilantro and honey create an exciting medley of flavours. Plain yogurt and lime may taste rather tart on their own, but the onion and ginger add a slight bite, while the cilantro and honey add a savoury and sweet element. It’s hard not to love the complex flavour of this simple sauce, especially when paired with these savoury muffins.
