here is a recipe! Tembleque Cool and delicious 4 cups coconut milk ½ cup of cornstarch 2/3 cup of sugar ½ tsp. salt 1 tblsp. orange blossom water (optional) ground cinnamon In a saucepan dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup coconut milk. Once dissolved add the rest of the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Cook at medium-high heat stirring constantly! As it thickens, lower heat until it boils thick. Pour right away into wet molds, pans or cups. Cool and then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Carefully separate the tembleque from the mold using a knife. Turn it over unto a dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Makes about 12 servings. by the way i ahve not made it with orange blossom water and that sounds GREAT. if u cant find it use 1 or 2 teaspoons of vanilla and yes u can also use both the tablespoon of orange and 1 or 2 teaspoons of vanilla then u get a orange/cream/coconut flavor awesome! |

baccalao fritters.... greasy& salty but so good dam I might just make some this weekend.. Ingredients Half pound of Bacalao (salted cod) Vegetable oil for frying Small onion finely diced ½ cup milk 1 egg Chili pepper minced to desired heat level! 1 tablespoon of butter Pinch of salt Pinch of baking powder 1 cup of flour 1 teaspoon annatto or saffron infused water Preparation Soak cod in fresh cold water in the fridge for at least 10-12 hours. You should change the water several times to try to get as much salt out of the fish as possible. Poach cod for 20 minutes, drain out the water and remove skin and bones. Heat a few tablespoons of oil, add the annatto and the diced onion and cook until soft – set aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Then add all of the wet ingredients, including the cod and the cooked onions and mix vigorously until a batter is formed. Get ½ inch of vegetable oil smoking hot then add large spoonfuls of batter one at a time. Fry for a few minutes on each side. These Caribbean Bacalao Fritters are one of the great Caribbean appetizer recipes as they can be served hot or cold. They’re also great Caribbean party food! |

Whenever I go to Venezuela, I'll have arepas. I love those corn breads!
I cook Cuban food sometimes...simple stuff like black beans, yellow rice, picadillo, beef and tomato stew, beans salad, avocado salad, etc. My Venezuelan and Colombian friends usually use a crazy amount of garlics in their food lol. |

 Latin/Cuban - Pastelito de Carne (oh the simplicity!)  or Ayaca of course (what Trinis call pastelle) from Venezuela But they have to be Trini style. dem venezuelans doesn't put enough peppa fuh me.  __________________ Whether there is a moral component to being less clothed than an European, I'm not getting into because that's a personal thing.

The Acai fruit from the Amazon region of Brazil. I was scared to try it at first because it looked disgusting in a bowl.....but it's great for the immune system and gives you a lot of energy. I don't like buying it at the supermarkets here, because it's a ripoff and not of the same quality. Sprinkle some granola on top of it and add a chopped banana.
Never heard of it ever being in GT.....maybe near the Brazil/Guyana border there may be some Acai trees? I wonder if any other S.American Amazon countries' regions grow this fruit as well? __________________ "I will forewarn you......fear ye him when thou hast died hath power to cast into hell" - Charles Lawson |
