How to Use / Preparation

Sweet Canjica Dessert (Serves 4-6)

1. Prepare the corn: Soak 1 cup of Yoki Canjica Cristal in water overnight.

2. Cook: Drain and rinse the corn. Add to a large pot with 4-5 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1–2 hours until the kernels are completely tender (they'll open slightly). Stir occasionally.

3. Add dairy: Pour in 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of coconut milk or sweetened condensed milk. Stir well.

4. Sweeten and spice: Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes until creamy and fragrant.

5. Serve: Pour into bowls while still warm. Top with shredded coconut, extra cinnamon, or whole cloves. Serve hot or chilled.

Mungunzá Variation

Follow the same base preparation, but add coconut milk and regional spices like cloves. Some versions include roasted peanuts stirred in before serving for extra texture.

Savory Stew Preparation

1. Soak and cook the hominy corn until tender (1–2 hours).
2. In a separate pot, brown sliced Calabrese sausage or dried beef with onions and garlic.
3. Add the cooked corn to the meat, along with broth or water, bay leaves, and black pepper.
4. Simmer 20–30 minutes until flavors meld. Serve in bowls as a hearty main dish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm canjica as a dessert during June festivals, topped with shredded coconut and a dusting of cinnamon. Pair sweet versions with strong coffee and cheese bread (pão de queijo) for an authentic Brazilian breakfast or afternoon treat.

For savory applications, serve your hominy corn stew alongside rice and fresh lime. The mild, slightly sweet corn pairs wonderfully with smoky Calabrese sausage or tender dried beef for a filling, traditional meal.

Enhance any preparation by stirring in Mimosa Leite Condensado Tradicional (Sweetened Condensed Milk) for extra richness, or finish with a drizzle of coconut milk and toasted shredded coconut.
