Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 cup masa harina
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut in small pieces
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 1 Spanish onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 jalapeno, seeded and chopped

  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

Slice corn off the cob. Grind in a food processor until it becomes coarse. Remove and blend with masa harina and water. Fry the pork in a little olive oil. Add onions, peppers, chile, and garlic, cook until the onions are translucent. Add tomatoes and wine. Add the pork and vegetables to the corn mixture. Season with lemon, salt, and pepper.
