My favorite meal are Humitas, I just can´t live without them, I can have them for breakfast, lunch or diner, but I must be honest and say that making them is whole big feat.
First you have to peel the corn, then wash it and start chopping the grains till the kernel is empty.
Next you must take all of the grains and put them into the food processor, this is where you can mix it with the sofrito you previously prepared, it is usually made of only onion, but I always add basil.
Afterwords, take all of t his mix into a souce pan and cook it for, I really don´t know, I´m always watching and smelling till I see it is some how ready. Then I start filling the corn leaves and put them into the souce pan again. In the meanwhile I chop some onions, tomatoes and parsley and I prepare my Chilena salad, what a wonderful mix!
I like them because the mix of flavors are just amazing, smashed corn is so sweet and soft and the juice of the salad creates a sort of balm that integrates all the textures that taste like endless summer.
I consider this chilean dish one of the most important and healthy one, it all comes from nature without any industrial processes, from the chacra to our tables. Delicious!
The humitas are DELICOUS! And I agree, humitas mixed with Chilean Salad is the perfect combo. Although, I'm not a huge fan of add sugar in the humitas. I feel the corn is sweet itself so I'm not sure if it need more sweetnes.
ResponderEliminarI love humitas! Clasic of Chilean food. I love all food with corn
ResponderEliminarlove this dish too! I mix it with ensalada a la chilena and sugar because I can't choose between both of them.
ResponderEliminarHi Teacher, I like Humitas too, because my favorites vegetable is corn, I love to eat them with salt and tomato salad. Also, I love pastel de choclo, I always eat them at summer, I would eat it every day.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher!.The humitas is one of my favorites dishes too. A simple meal but wonderful, the sweetnes of the corn by itself is enough for love this dish, also adding the classic Chilean salad.
ResponderEliminarHello teacher, how are you, I think that humitas should be eaten with tomato and onion, that's it, take care!!
ResponderEliminarHi! I must tell you that I've never really been a fan of humitas, but the way you describe the process and the mix of flavors makes me want to try again, it reminded me of the ratatouille scene when Remi tried the cheese mixed with strawberries haha
ResponderEliminarHi teacher! Well ... the truth is, I don't like humitas so much, I'm from the pastel de choclo team haha, but the humitas are delicious too.
ResponderEliminarI love humitas too! Especially with sugar and tomato.
ResponderEliminarI love humitas, eat them with sugar and tomato, how delicious.
ResponderEliminarHello teacher, it is true that making humitas is quite a feat. My family loves them but we only make them once or twice a year because it's a big job jaja.
ResponderEliminarI love humitas too!
ResponderEliminarI think many of us love humitas! I have never cooked them, but I imagine it's hard work. Do you prefer humitas with or without sugar?

ResponderEliminarHumitas are so good! Every year during summer my grandmother makes them and I can confirm that making them is a feat.
ResponderEliminarufff, the best of the best

ResponderEliminarThe humintas are the most wonderful creation in the world. I prefer not to cook it because it is very difficult, I prefer to buy them.
I love humitas too, but every time we want to eat, it we have to wake up so early because making them is such a tedious work.

Humitas with pebre, the best! I think that without this meal the Chilean popular gastronomy will be more less healthy
ResponderEliminarHumitas are delicious. I prefer them with tomato instead of sugar, to this day that combination does not convince me.
ResponderEliminarI love Humitas! It's one of my favorite meals, I prefer them with sugar
ResponderEliminarChilean food is the best! Because, like you said, it's healthy. Since I'm vegetarian, I love humitas because it's one of the few Chilean dishes without meat. I love them with tomato.
ResponderEliminarohh humitas! i love, but i prefer with sugar
ResponderEliminarI love humitas too! However, it seems aberrant to eat them with sugar. Tomato or Chilena salad will always be the best accompaniment.
ResponderEliminarWow I was very hungry...I love humitas! especially with a little tomato and a pinch of sugar
ResponderEliminarI also like humitas but without sofrito because I hate onion. Humitas and sugar is the best mix!
ResponderEliminarThe humitas are so delicious, but I prefer humitas with sugar.
ResponderEliminarHi, I feel very sad since I have never eaten the humitas, I simply have not been given the opportunity, hopefully one day eat them!!!
ResponderEliminarI am going to say an unpopular opinion, but I don't like the Humitas or any preparation with corn, because I don't like the corn! I know that I am a weird Chilean person, but the Chilean salad is my favorite!
ResponderEliminarI don`t like humitas but I Love corn hehehe
ResponderEliminarI also love humitas! they are a true delight. The truth is, I am a fan of all foods that contain corn.
ResponderEliminarOoh I remembered my abuelita, the humitas she prepared were almost the only ones I've ever eaten, they were so delicious... mmm I feel like eating humitas now.
ResponderEliminarI love humitas too! but I eat them mostly in summer, in winter the corn is less delicious, but there are some decent frozen humitas on the market! haha I recommend them
ResponderEliminarYup, making humitas is a whole big feat, but are so delicious, so it's worth the effort.
ResponderEliminarYes !!! the humitas are delicious,already waiting for summer to come to eat jejeje
ResponderEliminarI love humitas, the bad thing is that I feel that they are an almost exclusive dish for September (I never eat them an any other date). I like them with sugar and take it
ResponderEliminarI don't like Humitas at all, it must be because I don't like ground corn
ResponderEliminarhumitas with sugar and tomato: 10/10
ResponderEliminarit's delicious food
