Pamonha!






The people I live with made pamonha for their sunday family lunch. It's a traditional brazillian food made from corn. You can make it either "salgado"(salty)or "doce"(sweet)...I preffer the salty. I like to call it brazillian corn bread. And here's Heloisa preparing it!



First, you boil corn and milk and make sure to have some corn husks handy. Fold it, pour the mixture in. After, fold a second corn husk over it. Wrap it with a rubber band or tie (if you don't like that wierd bitter taste boiled rubber bands give off...ick). Also,if you are cooking both salty AND sweet, make sure to mark the sweet ones with somethign different. Some people do different rubber bands, Heloisa tied a peice of leaf in between the cloth tie.


I don't know why it's putting all the pictures at the top... it won't let me move them. I'll edit this post when I figure out how to change the format (sorry guys!)


When it's done boiling, cut open & enjoy! Pamonha is one of my all time favorite brazillian foods. A Sunny afternoon, some pamonha and uma lata de guarana and i'm good to go!
