Humita Dip

Serves 6 Prep Time 5 minutes   Cook Time 15 minutes   Rated:

I had never heard of humita until my most recent trip to London. We were wandering through Covent Garden after a theatre matinee show and just hoping to find a Mexican restaurant I had heard of. Instead we found Temper Restaurant, which I can highly recommend. I will have that permanently on my must eat list when in London from now on. But I digress.

The menu was interestingly eclectic, flavourful, spicy, and this was on it. We ordered some hot house made corn chips to go with it and I was in heaven. So...originally Humita is made with maize and is from the South Americas. Clearly mine uses fresh corn in the absence of readily available maize. We also do not wrap it into parcels (in the corn husks) and steam, plus it has cheese in it, as did the Temper version. I mean really. You must try this. It was demolished very quickly on shoot day and we will absolutely be having this again soon!
