This is a traditional Brazilian dish. And this is a very tasty and special recipe. It is really creamy - and dairy free!

Lactose free, vegan and gluten free.

Serves: 4 persons

Difficulty: medium

Time: about 40 minutes

Ingredients

3/4 cup of cooked corn (corn cob) 1 small onion, chopped 1 pinch of asafoetida (optional) (for gluten free, check the ingredients) 1 pinch of black pepper 1/3 cup raw cashews Salt to taste

Directions

1. Soak the cashew nuts in warm water for about 20 minutes;

2. Cook the corn cobs for 10 minutes in a pressure cooker counting from the start of its noise;

3. Put the corn cob in cold water and with a knife remove the corn from the cob;

4. Drain the cashew water and blend it with enough water to make a homogeneous cream;

5. Add to the blender 1/2 cup corn (reserving the rest) and water until you have the desired consistency;

6. In a saucepan, saute onion and when it's soft, add the asafoetida and black pepper;

7. Put the cream into the pan with the reserved corn;

8. Add salt;

9. Turn off after boiling. It's ready!

Tips

1. Use the corn cob because it is much healthier than canned corn. And preferably organic;

2. The asafoetida has the function of preventing the formation of flatus. Use a small quantity, because it is very strong (size of a grain of been);

3. The cashew nut is responsible for the creaminess of the recipe. So I do not advise you to replace this nut for another one.
