CACHAPA
Cachapa is a thin sweet pancake made with fresh corn and this is one of the most traditional Venezuelan street foods.
It’s typically eaten with queso de mano – queso fresco (Venezuelan fresh cheese) and occasionally with chicharron (crispy pork belly) on the side
Here in Australia we substitute the Venezuelan cheeses for Mozzarella, burrata or feta cheese.
Ingredients
3 cobs of corn kernels (400g)
⅓ cup of milk
20g Papelon, rapadura, sugar cane or brown sugar
A pinch of salt
80g GF flour, or more if required
10g butter
Queso de mano (Queso fresco) burrata, mozzarella or feta.
Method
Add ingredients in a blender except (butter & cheese) and blend until combined.
Heat the fry pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add 1/2 cup of mixture in the fry pan and cook like a pancake for around 5 minutes and add the cheese. Fold in half and continue to cook for 2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
