Melt a mixture of butter or pork fat with a bit of corn or olive oil in a skillet.

Chop the onion finely and add it to the melted fat, cooking until translucent without browning.

Chop and add red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking with the onion.

Grate the kernels off 5 or 6 fresh corn cobs to extract the pulp, avoiding cutting with a knife.

Add the grated corn pulp to the skillet with the onion and red bell pepper mixture.

Pour in 250 cm³ of milk and add flour to help thicken the mixture.

Add ground chili, pepper, and some basil to the mixture, stirring well.

Cook the mixture until it thickens slightly, then remove from heat.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Fill small baking dishes or cazuelas with the mixture and sprinkle with organic sugar on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Top with fresh goat cheese or ricotta and a bit of fresh basil before serving.
