Guatemalan Cuisine

[iridiscente]

I thought it would be good to keep all of the Guatemalan foods I am learning how to make and trying to document in their own thread.

I had a lot of fun learning how to make Guatemalan dishes over Christmas break. The first thing we made was the masa recipe that I posted about yesterday. With that masa, we made corn tortillas and pupusas(a very typical dish here made from the corn masa dough and a filling of meat, cheese or beans. It ends up almost like a corn meal based fried pie.)

If you are interested in seeing the process for making pupusas, go here: http://www.all-about-guatemala.com/pupusa-recipe.html

To see how we made corn tortillas by hand, go here: http://www.all-about-guatemala.com/how-to-make-corn-tortillas.html

If you would like to see the masa process, from the corn on the cob all the way to the dough, go here: http://www.all-about-guatemala.com/how-to-make-masa.html

These were a really awesome learning experience and one of my favorite parts of being in Guatemala.
