Спосіб приготування

Крок за кроком

1. 1

   Carefully remove the corn husks from the cobs, keeping them as intact as possible. Select 8-10 large, unblemished husks and set them aside to use for wrapping.

   Близько 5 хв

   Примітка кухаря: Choose the largest and most flexible husks for easier wrapping.

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the corn kernels off the cobs. Try to get as close to the cob as possible.

   Примітка кухаря: Stand the cob upright in a large bowl to catch the kernels as you cut them.

3. 3

   Place the corn kernels in a blender. Add the milk, granulated sugar, and salt.

   Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times.

   Близько 3 хв

   Примітка кухаря: Blend thoroughly to ensure a smooth texture for the pamonha.

5. 5

   Take two large corn husks and overlap them slightly to form a wider, stronger base. Fold up the bottom end to create a pocket.

   Примітка кухаря: Ensure the folded bottom is secure to prevent the mixture from leaking.

6. 6

   Spoon the corn mixture into the husk pocket, filling it about two-thirds full.

   Fold down the top of the husks over the mixture, then fold in the sides to fully enclose the pamonha. Tie securely with a thin strip of corn husk or kitchen twine.

   Близько 5 хв

   Примітка кухаря: If the husks are too stiff, you can briefly soak them in warm water to make them more pliable.

8. 8

   Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining mixture and husks.

9. 9

   Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully place the wrapped pamonhas into the boiling water.

   Близько 2 хв

   Примітка кухаря: Ensure there is enough water to fully submerge the pamonhas.

10. 10

    Boil the pamonhas for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the corn mixture is firm to the touch.

    Близько 40 хв

    Примітка кухаря: The texture should be similar to firm polenta when cooked through.

    Carefully remove the pamonhas from the water and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

    Близько 5 хв

    Примітка кухаря: Pamonha can be served straight from the husk.
