Ingredient appreciation — what makes Humitas special

What sets Humitas apart is the handling of mote wheat. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the subtly sweet with mote result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Chilean cuisine reflects the extraordinary length of the country with Pacific seafood, Andean ingredients, and Patagonian lamb all defining different regions. The a Valparaíso seafood market atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had mote con huesillo peach drink as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Humitas is the place to start.
