A comforting Chilean dish made of fresh corn, onions, and basil, cooked in a pot. This dairy and nut-free version maintains the traditional flavors.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh Corn Kernels

- 1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 2Add the 1 medium onion, chopped into small pieces, to the pot. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onion pieces are soft and look see-through.
- 3Add the 6 cups of fresh corn kernels, the 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves, and the 1/2 cup of vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything together.
- 4Add the 1 teaspoon of sugar, the 1 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- 5Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 40 to 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
- 6The humitas are ready when the corn is tender and the mixture has thickened into a creamy consistency. You can test a kernel of corn to see if it is soft.
- 7Serve the humitas en olla warm.
