Pastelera de Choclo Chilean Corn PuddingThe Holidays are over, and it is time to start the year. This recipe honors one of my family traditions. On January 1st, we start the year by making Humitas Chilean tamales (made with fresh corn and no filling) and Pastel de Choclo corn pie.

All family members helped (including my uncles, children, etc.) with the labors: the corn peeling, grating, sorting the corn leaves (husks) by size, grinding meat, chopping onions, etc. This Chilean corn pudding captures all the flavors with a lot less labor.

    Looking forward to making this dish for Christmas Eve dinner. Please note that a key ingredient is not listed in the English recipe- basil. Basil adds an amazing flavor to a simple but very delicious dish.
