Tips:

To make the stew more flavorful, use fresh, sweet corn. If fresh corn is not available, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
If you don't have a pot that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients, you can cook the stew in batches.
If you want a thicker stew, you can add a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) to the stew. Bring the stew to a simmer and then add the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until the stew has reached the desired consistency.
Serve the stew with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Hopi corn stew is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a great way to use up fresh corn. The stew is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have some fresh corn, be sure to give Hopi corn stew a try!
