Basil Parmesan Sauce

10 servings

Ingredients:
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon mashed garlic
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions for Corn Fritters:
In a pot, mix the milk, butter, sugar and salt and bring to a boil.

Remove from the heat and put in the corn, the corn meal, and the baking powder and stir until it becomes a paste.

Let the paste cool - this is important! Then add the eggs one by one and mix together.

Fry by the spoonful and serve with the sauce.

Directions for Basil Parmesan Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients and let cool in the fridge until serving time.
