I want to show you how to make a Bolivian corn casserole. This is called huminta in Bolivia and it is absolutely finger licking good. It does take some work but I promise you it is well worth it.  You can use fresh or frozen corn for this recipe which allows you to make year round.

Serves four
6 ears of corn - boiled and kernels removed from cob
3/4 cup butter
3 TBS flour
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded white cheese
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Salt & Pepper
2 TBS chopped parsley
Extra butter, shredded cheese and paprika for garnishing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the milk and whisk vigorously, getting rid of any lumps, until sauce thickens. Add the shredded cheese and melt. Off the heat.

Add the nutmeg, season with salt and pepper and parsley. Mix well. Add the corn. Mix well. Place the corn in an oven proof casserole dish. Dab with extra butter and shredded cheese. Sprinkle some paprika for color. Place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes - until sauce is bubbly and cheese has shredded.

Remove from oven. Serve and enjoy!
