Humita en Chala

Method

1. 1

   Grate the corn off the cobs (keep husks!); sweat onion in butter with paprika.

2. 2

   Cook corn, squash and milk into a thick cream, 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Spoon onto doubled husks with a basil leaf, fold into parcels, tie with husk strips.

   💡 Two overlapping husks per parcel — one always tears at the worst moment.

4. 4

   Steam 35 minutes; unwrap at the table.
