Til ære for Karen Lagoni, første brasilianske opskrift!

Pamonha er en brasiliansk "delikatesse" efter min mening! Selvom jeg kun har spist det 2 gange, så er jeg helt vild med det! Navnet kommer fra Tupi sproget pa'muña som betyder "klistret". Det er en ret bestående af primært majs og mælk. Jeg ved ikke så meget om retten, udover at den er super lækker! Så jeg fandt en opskrift på engelsk til jer (Karen), da jeg kun har spist det som "take-away":

RECIPE - Pamonha
Makes 12

12 ears very fresh corn
4 Tbsp. sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 cup cold whole milk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut off the bases of the ears of corn, then carefully shuck them, taking care not to rip the husks if possible. Reserve the husks. Remove all the silk from the cobs, then trim them.

Grate the ears of corn over a large container, then pour the liquid through a sieve, pressing down on the solids to extract all the juice. Stir the sugar and salt into the corn juice until dissolved, then add the milk. Reserve.

Trim the corn husks into equal sized rectangles (see examples on video). Using a corn cob as a mold, wrap the cob in at at least four husks, remove the cob, and tie one end of the package of husks securely with kitchen twine. (see demonstration on video). Carefully fill each package with the liquid corn mixture, then tie the other end of the package with twine tightly.

Bring a large quantity of water to boil in a stockpot or other large saucepan. Lower heat, then carefully place the packages in simmering water to cover. Partially cover the stockpot or pan, and let the pamonhas simmer for one hour. When done, remove the pamonhas from the water and let them drain thoroughly. Serve hot or at room temperature.


Jeg prøvede at oploade nogle billeder af maden, men det gad mit internet altså ikke, så søg på google - pamonha. Det ser måske ikke så lækkert ud, men det ser faktisk rigtig interessant ud!
