Autumnal Humita en Chala (Corn Husk Bundles)

Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh corn kernels
• 1 cup Butternut squash
• 1 medium Onion
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 12 Corn husks

Instructions

1. 1Soak corn husks in warm water for at least 30 minutes to soften.
2. 2In a food processor, pulse the corn kernels until coarsely ground. Set aside.
3. 3Dice butternut squash and onion. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened. Add squash and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. 4Add the ground corn mixture, milk, sugar, salt, and nutmeg to the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
5. 5Lay two corn husks overlapping each other. Spoon a portion of the corn mixture into the center. Fold the husks to create a bundle and tie with kitchen twine.
6. 6Steam the bundles in a steamer basket over boiling water for 30-40 minutes, or until the husks are firm and the filling is set.
