Dominican Majarete Corn Pudding Food

DOMINICAN MAJARETE (CORN PUDDING)

Steps:

• Place an ear of corn, cut side down, on a cutting board, holding it near the top. Using a sharp knife, start at the top and cut downward with a gentle motion. Continue cutting until all of the corn is removed.
• In the food processor or a blender add the corn, milk, coconut milk, corn starch, salt and sugar, click pulse a few times, and leave the texture as coarse as you prefer, the more you pulse the smoothest your majarete will be. At this point most of the people will pass this mixture through a sieve, to get a smooth liquid, I know tradition says majarete is a smooth corn pudding. Sometimes I will just cook the liquid as it is so I get a little more texture on my majarete.
• On a heavy bottom pot, add all ingredients cook over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent sticking. When it thickens, remove from heat and serve immediately in small cups or bowls. Garnish with raisins. Sprinkle some cinnamon. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare corn: Shuck (remove husk and silk from) the corncobs. Using a sharp knife cut kernels from cob about 2/3 the depth of the kernels.
• Blending: Blend the corn kernels together with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon powder, milk, salt, and half a cup of water. Pass the mixture through a strain and keep the liquid (discard the solid parts).
• Making the pudding: Pour the blended mixture into a 3 quart [3 lt] saucepan. Add the cinnamon sticks. Cook over over medium heat stirring constantly to avoid sticking. When it thickens to the consistency of drinkable yogurt remove from the heat (15 mins approx). Taste and stir in sugar to taste if you find it necessary.
• Cool the pudding: Place the pot into another pot containing cold water (as in the video), stir until the pudding cools down (this will prevent a crust from forming).
• Serving: Pour into small bowls or ice cream glasses. Sprinkle with a small amount of nutmeg on the bowls. If you prefer, chill before serving.
