Yoki Ground Hominy (Xerém de Milho) 500g

Product Overview

• Texture: Coarse and gritty, similar to "grits" in the Southern United States or a very coarse polenta.
• Flavor: Intense, natural toasted corn flavor.
• The Name: While "Xerém" refers to the ground corn in Brazil, it is a term shared with Portugal (particularly the Algarve region), where it is used to make a similar savory porridge often paired with seafood.

Key Uses & Recipes

1. Xerém com Galinha (Corn with Chicken): The most iconic dish. The corn is slow-cooked with water or broth until it forms a thick, creamy porridge, then served with a rich chicken stew poured over the top.
2. Portuguese Xerém (Algarve style): In Portugal, it is often cooked with clams (ameijoas), bacon, or ham, creating a savory "Luso" version of the dish.
3. Side Dish: It serves as a heartier, more textured alternative to rice or standard mashed potatoes.
4. Savoury Porridge: It can be cooked simply with salt and butter as a filling breakfast or side for roasted meats.
