Humitas En Olla (In A Pot)
- 6 ears corn on the cob
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1'' wedge or slice of yellow squash diced small
- 1 green chili, minced
- 100 grams (approx 1/4 lb) beef fat (or lard)
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 150 grams (approx 5 1.4 oz) fresh cheese cut into cubes (port salut or cremoso)
- Basil, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1) Scrape the kernels from the cob using a grater. If a knife is used, the corn will need a whirl in a food processor to rough it up a bit.
- 2) In the medium pot, cook the onopn, squash and chili in the fat with some salt & pepper.
- 3) Add the corn and just enough of the milk to keep it a wet mixture.
- 4) Cook, stirring constantly, as the liquid is absorbed - add more milk as needed to keep the mixture wet.
- 5) When the corn is cooked through (approx 20 min), add the cheese and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- 6) Season to taste and garnish with the basil.
