Title: HUMITAS
Categories: Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings

8 Ears of fresh corn
With shucks on
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
3 tb Butter
1 ts Sugar
1 Onion chopped
1/4 c Milk (evaporated is best)
1 Tomato peeled, seeded,
& chopped
2 Eggs beaten

Cut corn off of the cobs. Save cobs & husks! Take the
largest husks, put into a pan of boiling water to
soften. Heat the butter in a pan, add the onion, &
cook til soft. Add the tomato, salt & pepper, & sugar
and cook for 5-6 minutes. Add the corn, milk, & eggs
and cook for 10 minutes. Stir constantly while this
step is in progress. Remove the husks from the water
and dry. Place 3 Tblspns of the corn mixture on the
center of each husk. Fold the sides of the husks over
to form a small package. (use 2 leaves if you need to
do so) tie with string. Place cobs in the bottom of
the pot of boiling water and place the humitas on top
of the cobs. Cover pot for 30 minutes. Serve hot!
I like to add a bit of garlic to mine. I also use the
Sriracha or Tuong hot sauce too!
