Signature Chefs of Orlando 85 - Corn Humita with Mussels

At the Signature Chefs of Orlando, chefs are elevating traditional recipes by using NorCal Ovenworks Asado Grills, and a standout dish is the Corn Humita with Mussels. This dish combines the rustic, smoky flavors of the asado grill with the rich, creamy texture of corn humita and the briny taste of fresh mussels.

• Corn Humita: A traditional South American dish, humita is similar to a tamale, made with fresh corn, onions, spices, and cheese. On the asado grill, the humita gains a smoky depth that enhances its creamy sweetness, making it a perfect base for seafood.
• Mussels: Mussels are cooked over the asado's high heat, allowing them to steam and open naturally, absorbing the smoky flavors from the wood-burning grill. The heat control on the NorCal Ovenworks Asado Grill ensures the mussels cook evenly while maintaining their tender, juicy texture.

The combination of the grilled humita and mussels creates a dish that embodies the best of both land and sea, with the charred sweetness of the corn pairing beautifully with the briny, smoky mussels. By using the NorCal Ovenworks Asado Grill, chefs are able to bring out the essence of these ingredients, making the dish a true showcase of South American-inspired cuisine.

This dish not only highlights the versatility of the NorCal Ovenworks Asado Grill but also demonstrates how traditional cooking methods can be adapted to modern culinary events like Signature Chefs of Orlando, offering a fusion of tradition and innovation.
