Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Carefully remove the husks from the corn cobs, keeping them as whole as possible, and set them aside. Cut the kernels off the cobs.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Select large, intact husks for wrapping the humitas.
2
In a food processor, blend the corn kernels with the milk until a coarse paste forms. Do not over-process; a bit of texture is desirable.
Aproximativ 5 min.
3
Melt the butter in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 7 min.
4
Stir in the sugar, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
5
Add the corn paste to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, for about 10-15 minutes, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stirring prevents the corn from sticking and burning.
6
If using, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and fully incorporated into the corn mixture.
Aproximativ 2 min.
7
Lay out two corn husks, overlapping them slightly to form a wider surface. Spoon a portion of the corn mixture onto the center of the husks.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: You can use kitchen twine to tie the ends if the husks aren't holding well.
8
Fold the husks over the mixture to form a packet, then fold in the sides to seal. Repeat with the remaining mixture and husks.
Aproximativ 5 min.
9
Place the wrapped humitas in a large pot with a steamer basket or directly in boiling water. If boiling, ensure they are fully submerged.
10
Steam or boil for 30-40 minutes, until the humitas are firm and cooked through.
Aproximativ 40 min.
Nota bucătarului: Check for doneness by unwrapping one humita; the corn mixture should be set.
11
Carefully remove the humitas from the pot and serve hot in their husks.
