Cornmeal Mush Recipe
|
To make Cornmeal Mush for 6 you will need
Ingredients
| | INGREDIENTS: | | 1 | tablespoon | Oil | | 2 | | Clove garlic, minced (2 tsp) | | 1 | small | Onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup) | | 2 | cups | Cold water (to 3 cups) | | | Salt & fresh ground black pepper | | 1/2 | cups | Fine (stone ground) cornmeal |
Instructions
Servings: 6 to 8 Notes: Angu (pronounced "aing goo") is a sort of polenta,
one of the many cooked starch pastes one finds in Brazil. For best results,
use a fine, stone ground cornmeal.
DIRECTIONS: Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic and onion
over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft but not brown. Add 2 cups
water and bring to a rapid boil.
Add the cornmeal in a thin stream through your fingers, stirring vigorously
to prevent lumps. The mixture should be the consistency of choux pastry or
soft ice cream. If too thick, make a hole in the angu with a wooden spoon
and stir in a little cold water. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer
for 3 to 4 minutes. Correct the seasoning and serve at once.
Note: For a prettier presentation, the angu can be spooned into a thickly
buttered tube pan and unmolded onto a platter. (Picture in magazine shows
that a fluted tube pan was used, and the center of the unmolded angu was
filled with flat leaf parsley- or cilantro?
