Chevys' Sweet Corn Tomalito

Courses: Side dish
Serves: 12 people

Recipe Ingredients

5 tablespoons 75mlMargarine - softened
1/4 cup 59mlMasa harina
1/3 cup 65g / 2.3ozGranulated sugar
1/2 cup 118mlWater
2 cups 125g / 4.4ozCorn kernels (fresh or frozen) - thawed, divided
1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozCornmeal
1 teaspoon 5mlBaking powder
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
2 tablespoons 30mlMilk - plus
1 teaspoon 5mlMilk

Recipe Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

In a blender container, blend half the corn kernels with the water until smooth. Combine this mixture with the margarine mixture, stirring well. Add the remaining corn kernels, corn meal, baking powder, salt and milk and mix well. Pour the corn mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan.

Tightly cover with plastic wrap and steam by setting atop a medium saucepan of water on top of the stove. The pan must be tightly wrapped at all times. Bring water to a boil and steam corn mixture for 50 minutes to one hour (check to see whether you might need to add more water), until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tomalito should have a smooth, moist texture.

This recipe yields 12 to 16 servings.
