The chef Javier Brichetto, gastronomic advisor and professional cook, from his restaurant Piantao in Madrid cooks for us a “Corn Humita” highlighting the flavor of the plantain leaf in a Delicious green sauce that decorates the dish but exudes a unique flavor that conquers the plates.
The humita or huminta is a meal that uses corn as its main ingredient, a mixture wrapped in leaves from the corn itself. Chef Brichetto´s recipe is an innovative way to prepare this traditional plate.
