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

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 boast of in this regard (except for sweet corn sticks Soviet times). Therefore, we can only learn the art of cooking dishes from corn flour, the recipes of which were inherited by modern people from the ancient Aztecs.

Tortillas from Mexico

If we are already talking about the Aztecs who founded Mexico City, then we will begin to master the recipes for corn flour dishes from Mexican tortillas. These corn tortillas tasty both by themselves and as a basis for many dishes Mexican food... Real tortillas require an open fire and a special earthenware pan. But we will perfectly cope with them in a regular frying pan.

Ingredients:

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

Preparation:

Finely chop the margarine with a knife. Sift the flour and add to the margarine, there is also a pinch of salt. We grind the margarine with flour into crumbs and, gradually pouring in water, knead the dough. Divide the dough into several parts (according to the number of future cakes), cover with a towel and leave for fifteen minutes. Then roll out round thin cakes from the dough and fry them on both sides in a dry (no oil!) Hot frying pan. The tortillas are ready! You can eat them instead of bread, or you can go ahead and cook ...

On the basis of tortillas, you can make tostados - the same flour cakes, but fried in oil. If you put the filling between two tortillas, sprinkle them with cheese and fry them in oil, the result is a quesadilla. And if you throw the stuffed cake into a tube, then the dish will already be called a burrito. It's funny. Is not it? But only Mexicans amuse themselves this way. And, for example, in Georgia they prepare more "laconic" corn cakes.

Mchadi from Georgia

The recipes for mchadi and tortillas are very similar, but still this different dishes... If you are interested in "feel the difference", prepare both options and compare.

Ingredients:

Corn flour (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 the soft and slightly sticky dough. With wet hands, form oblong cakes from the dough, which we put in a preheated pan and bake in the oven. This method of cooking mchadi is the closest to baking them in traditional stone pans "ketsi". But many housewives fry mchadi in a pan in vegetable oil(like regular cutlets). These cakes are served with cheese (ideally with Imeretian or suluguni).

Polenta from Italy

By and large, polenta is satisfying and delicious porridge, which was originally thought to be food for the poor. But over time, it was "figured out" by the better-off Italians, and besides, they were "ennobled". Polenta recipes differ mainly in additives. It is prepared with cheese, vegetables, mushrooms, seafood, minced meat... Try making polenta with cheese first.

Ingredients:

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

Preparation:

Prepare cheese for polenta in advance (grated) and garlic oil... For the latter, melt the butter in a 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. Cook it over low heat, without ceasing to interfere (it is more convenient to do this with a wooden spatula). After boiling polenta for about fifteen minutes, add grated cheese to it. Add in small portions, waiting until all the cheese dissolves into porridge. At the very end, pour out the garlic oil and remove the pan from the heat. Serve with herbs.

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 that the hero of Tom Hanks used to treat the black giant? And, for sure, this bread was prepared according to traditional recipe, which is held in high esteem by all housewives in the southern American states.

Ingredients:

A glass of cornmeal
Glass of sour milk
A tablespoon of sugar
Incomplete glass of water
Butter (2 tablespoons)
Baking dough (sachet)
Baking soda (quarter teaspoon)

Preparation:

Turn on the oven in advance and place an empty thick-bottomed pan in it (let them warm up). Meanwhile, pour a tablespoon of flour into a bowl and pour boiling water over it (an incomplete glass). Whisk the brewed flour with a whisk and add spoiled milk(kefir, yogurt) and an egg. In another bowl, mix the remaining flour, sugar, salt, baking 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 the lumps are dissolved.

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

Note:

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

In general, corn flour is considered dietary and useful product... It is not for nothing that the recipes from it are so “multinational”. So do not pass by when you see a bag of cornmeal on the counter of the supermarket. Try yourself as a researcher of the culture of the ancient Aztecs, who not only loved corn, but also revered it, calling it their golden sun.
