Enjoy your meal!

Eh, the times are long gone when, with a light suggestion from Nikita Sergeevich (who promised the Americans to show Kuzkin his mother), corn was the queen of the fields. And then corn bread was sold in stores, and there was corn flour - heaps! But no, cornmeal dishes do not take root in our East Slavic cuisine. Meanwhile, corn flour (like cereals) has been and to this day remains a very popular ingredient in the cuisines of different peoples.

Many have heard about the famous Italian polenta or Moldavian hominy, Mexican tortillas or Georgian mchadi. Americans (Southern and Northern) still honor corn, and in Southern Europe it remains in high esteem. And we ... We have nothing to brag about in this regard (except for Soviet-era sweet corn sticks). Therefore, we can only learn the art of cooking dishes from cornmeal, the recipes of which have been inherited by modern people from the ancient Aztecs.

Tortillas from Mexico

If we are talking about the Aztecs who founded Mexico City, then we will begin to master the recipes for cornmeal dishes from Mexican tortillas. These corn tortillas are delicious both on their own and as the basis of many Mexican dishes. For real tortillas, you need an open fire and a special clay pan. But we can do just fine with them in a regular frying pan.

Ingredients:

Cornmeal (one and a half cups)
Water (half a glass)
Margarine (50 g)

Cooking:

Finely chop the margarine with a knife. Sift the flour and add to the margarine, there is also a pinch of salt. Grind margarine with flour into crumbs and, gradually pouring in water, knead the dough. We divide the dough into several parts (according to the number of future cakes), cover with a towel and leave for fifteen minutes. Then we roll out round thin cakes from the dough and fry them on both sides in a dry (without oil!) Hot frying pan. Tortillas are ready! You can eat them instead of bread, or you can go ahead and cook ...

On the basis of tortillas, you can cook tostados - the same flour cakes, but fried in oil. If you put a filling between two tortillas, sprinkle them with cheese and fry them in oil, the result will be a quesadilla. And if the tortilla with the filling is overthrown into a tube, then the dish will already be called a burrito. It's funny. Is not it? But only Mexicans have fun like that. And, for example, in Georgia they cook more “laconic” corn tortillas.

Mchadi from Georgia

The recipes for mchadi and tortillas are very similar, but they are still different dishes. If you are interested in “feeling the difference”, cook both options and compare.

Ingredients:

Cornmeal (3 cups)
Butter (50 g)
Water (one and a half glasses)

Add a piece of butter, a pinch of salt to the sifted flour and, adding water, knead a soft and slightly sticky dough. With wet hands, we form oblong cakes from the dough, which are placed on a preheated pan and baked in the oven. This method of cooking mchadi is closest to baking them in traditional stone ketsi frying pans. But many housewives fry mchadi in a pan in vegetable oil (like ordinary cutlets). These cakes are served with cheese (ideally - with Imereti or Suluguni).

Polenta from Italy

By and large, polenta is a hearty and tasty porridge, which was originally considered food for the poor. But over time, the better-off Italians “saw through” it, and besides, they “ennobled” it. Polenta recipes differ mainly in additives. It is cooked with cheese, vegetables, mushrooms, seafood, minced meat. First, try making polenta with cheese.

Ingredients:

Corn flour (350 g)
Water (600 ml)
Milk (400 ml)
Butter (150 g)
Cheese (200 g)
garlic clove
Piece of stale bread
Greens

Cooking:

In advance, prepare cheese for polenta (grated) and garlic oil. For the latter, melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the crushed garlic clove in it. For polenta, we take only a thick-bottomed pan. Pour water and milk into a saucepan and boil. Then add the crumbled bread there and, stirring constantly, pour out all the flour. We cook it over low heat, without ceasing to interfere (it is more convenient to do this with a wooden spatula). After cooking polenta for fifteen minutes, add grated cheese to it. Add in small portions, waiting until all the cheese has dissolved in the porridge. At the very end, pour the garlic oil and remove the pan from the heat. Serve with greens.

Cornbread from America (by Stephen King)

Are you surprised? No, of course, the master of literary horror films himself did not invent this recipe and did not even publish it anywhere. But in his works, cornbread is very often mentioned. Remember The Green Mile? And the cornbread with which the hero of Tom Hanks treated the black giant? And, for sure, this bread was prepared according to a traditional recipe, which is held in high esteem by all housewives of the southern American states.

Ingredients:

A glass of cornmeal
A glass of sour milk
Tablespoon of sugar
Half glass of water
Butter (2 tablespoons)
Baking powder (pack)
Baking soda (1/4 teaspoon)

Cooking:

We turn on the oven in advance and place an empty thick-bottomed frying pan in it (let them warm up). In the meantime, pour a tablespoon of flour into a bowl and pour boiling water over it (incomplete glass). Beating the brewed flour with a whisk, add sour milk (kefir, yogurt) and an egg to it. In another bowl, mix the remaining flour, sugar, salt, soda and baking powder and pour it all into the liquid mixture. Knead the dough (with a whisk or fork, but not with a mixer) until all lumps are dissolved.

Take the pan out of the oven and melt the butter in it. Pour the oil into the dough, and grease the entire pan with its remnants. Knead the dough again and pour it into the mold. Bake for twenty to thirty minutes. The readiness of the bread is determined by the golden crust and the moment when it begins to move away from the walls of the pan.

Note:

Spicy additives and toppings (red pepper, saffron, garlic, fried smoked meats, cheese, etc.) are added to the dough just before it is poured into the mold.

In general, cornmeal is considered a dietary and healthy product. No wonder the recipes from it are so “multinational”. So do not pass by when you see a bag of cornmeal on the supermarket counter. Try yourself in the role of a researcher of the culture of the ancient Aztecs, who not only loved corn, but also revered it, calling it their golden sun.
