Homemade Savory Pamonha with Cheese (Pamonha salgada com queijo: receita e)

Ingredients

12 fresh corn cobs with husks, cleaned
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons grated Minas or Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon margarine or butter

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh corn in husks at local farmers' markets or neighborhood produce stands. If you cannot source Minas cheese, a good-quality dry, salty white cheese or even a sharp parmesan makes an excellent substitute for the filling.

Preparation method

  1. Carefully remove the corn husks from the cobs, keeping the largest ones intact for assembly.
  2. Cut the corn kernels off the cobs using a sharp knife.
  3. Place the kernels in a blender and pulse until you have a well-ground paste.
  4. Add the milk to the corn cream and blend again until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Strain the mixture through a coarse sieve to remove any tough fibers and get a silky cream.
  6. Transfer the strained cream into a mixing bowl and stir in the salt, sugar, and grated cheese.
  7. Thoroughly wash the reserved corn husks under running water.
  8. Fashion small pouches out of the husks to hold individual portions.
  9. Fill each pouch with the corn cream, fold the ends tightly, and tie securely with kitchen twine.
  10. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  11. Place the pamonhas in the boiling water and cook for approximately 10 minutes until firm.
  12. Remove the pamonhas from the water, drain well, and serve warm or at room temperature.
