MAZAMORRA: Spanish Language Word for Cooked Corn

MAZAMORRA: Spanish Language Word for Cooked Corn

In Colombia, I ran across this can of what should be corn cooked in sort way. It’s just hard to tell from the picture. It turns our that mazamorra is a common Spanish language word in Latin America and is basically a maize-based dish with a thick consistency, probably something close to creamed-corn. The preparation varies among countries.

Other Spanish language words for corn are maíz and choclo.

Have you ever tried mazamorra before?
