Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn
  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 whole corn husks

Method

  1. 1

    Remove the kernels from the corn and place them in a blender or food processor.

  2. 2

    Blend the corn until you obtain a creamy mixture, then add the milk, melted butter, and salt. Blend until well combined.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, combine the corn mixture with the crumbled feta cheese.

  4. 4

    Lay out the soaked corn husks and place about 2 tablespoons of the corn mixture in the center of each husk.

  5. 5

    Fold the sides of the husk over the filling, then fold the bottom up to enclose the mixture. Tie with kitchen twine if needed.

  6. 6

    Steam the humitas in a large pot with a steamer basket for about 45-60 minutes, or until the filling is firm and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Remove from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.

  8. 8

    Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of additional cheese.
