Undoubtedly, curau is a typical recipe from different regions of Brazil, served mainly during the June festivities.

Traditionally made from shelled corn on the cob, it is a recipe that, in its original version, requires a little more work (check out the traditional version here).

But if you, like me, love this dessert but are looking for an easier and more practical version, this recipe is certainly for you!

Curau or hominy?

First of all, it is important to make it clear that this sweet can change its name in some regions of Brazil. I grew up in RJ with Minas Gerais influences calling it curau, however, in the Northeast it is more common to be called canjica.

Even with different names, the basis is the same.

Which canned corn to choose?

Yes, we are going to use canned corn to prepare our curau, but I’ll warn you right away that it won’t be just any corn.

Forget the brine versions, in addition to having a more vinegary taste, they are not as healthy and are slightly salty.

That way, not only for this recipe, but for all the preparations you are going to make, always opt for the steamed or water version.
