hominy recipe

The canjica recipe is present in traditional June festivals throughout Brazil. We find various traditional foods, such as peanut brittle, mulled wine and broths. All of them are irresistible, but the most desired dish:
hominy.
Canjica is not a typical dish of Brazilian origin, originally from Africa, and is used in our June festivals.

TO PREPARE OUR CANJICA RECIPE:

• 1 cup of white corn for canjica
• 500 ml of milk
• 5 cups of water for cooking
• 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (optional)
• 1/2 box of condensed milk
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 5 carnations
• Cinnamon powder to serve

HOW TO PREPARE OUR CANJICA RECIPE:

1. Wash the canjica in running water.
2. Leave to soak for approximately 4 hours with the sugar.
3. Cook in a pressure cooker with 2 liters of water for approximately 20 minutes or until soft.
4. Place in another pan, larger if necessary, add the milk, coconut milk, condensed milk and grated coconut.
5. Let it boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
6. Turn off the heat when it is very creamy.
7. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
