Chipaguazu Recipes

CHIPA GUAZú- CORN PANCAKE FROM PARAGUAY

Steps:

• In a pan, put the oil, when it is hot, add the onions, let them fry for some minutes, then add the milk, and let it cook some eight minutes and transfer in a big bowl.
• Grate the corn grains or blend it only shortly. They still should have some texture.
• Add the cheese in the bowl (cut into very thin slices), then the beaten eggs, the corn , the salt and the pepper and beat thoroughly. This dough is rather liquid. Check the salt to taste.
• Put this mixture into a greased pan, and take it to a 180º C (350°F) pre heated oven, until it is golden on top (will take abaout 45 minutes).
• Let this stand for five minutes and cut in pieces before serving it.
• Note: I used a 25-35 cm pan. Cooking time is depending from the size of your mold!

CHIPA GUAZú

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and dust with cornmeal. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and salt, cook until soft and transparent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and set aside to cool off.
• Place the eggs, sugar, and milk in a blender or food processor and blend for 3 minutes. Add the corn and blend for about 30 seconds, just enough to break up the corn kernels, do not over-blend!
• In a large bowl, combine the corn mixture, cheese, cornmeal, and cook onions until well combined. Transfer the batter for the Chipa Guazu to the prepared baking dish.
• Bake the Chipa Guazu until golden brown, about 50 to 60 minutes, or a cake tester comes out clean. Set aside to cool slightly before serving. Pair with our Delicious Asado con Chorizo! Enjoy our Paraguayan Style Corn Souffle! Enjoy!
