Pamonha

I was recently in Brazil and was lucky enough to be there during corn season.  There is a dish in Brazil called "Pamonha" which is essentially corn pudding that is boiled in its own husk.  Pictured below is Julio's oldest sister Maria or "Fia" showing me how to strategically cut a corn cob, from her own field, so that the husk can be reserved for making little packages that will hold the sweet liquid gold
