Danish term or phrase: vendt i (as used in cooking)
"Sauterede majs vendt i purløg" is an item I saw on a menu. There are also apparently various other dishes where something is "vendt i" something else.

I'm not sure how to interpret "vendt i" here -- can anyone help?

Thanks

vende i
fold in/into


Explanation:
"Fold in/into" in English.

Oxford: "Mix an ingredient gently with (another ingredient), especially by lifting a mixture with a spoon so as to enclose it without stirring or beating."

Ordnet: "blande to madingredienser forsigtigt sammen ved hjælp af op- og nedadgående bevægelser."

"folded into" in the past tense, of course.

  -> I admit I overlooked the "menu" thing, and I agree "folded in" it not right for a menu.

stirred with or mixed with


Explanation:
Assuming this is loose corn kernels and not an ear of corn, you cannot use the term "folded in" here. My suggestion is "sauteed corn stirred with (or mixed with) chives".
The term "folded in" is used for cake mixes where e.g. beaten egg whites or whipped cream is gently folded in the batter, this term does not fit here.

neutral  Christine Andersen: I think the item on the menu is probably whole cobs, possibly ´babymajs´ or sections of whole cobs.
