Cuzcuz!

Since Friday, when we went to the Brazilian place and had Brazilian pizza (see post bellow) I have been wanting more and more Brazilian food. Yesterday me and my friend Adriana went to a place called La Pequenita (on State Street in Orem) and I bought "fubá", which is a tipe of pre-cooked corn powder that you can make many yummy things with. I chose to make CUZCUZ - which, btw, each state in Brazil has a different way to make it but it's always delicious! - and here is a picture of my special cuzcuz pan that my mom brought me two years ago and my cuzcuz.

I called my aunt in Brazil tonight to get her recipe. 2 cups of the corn mix, 1.3 cups water, mix it, let it sit for about 10 minutes, put in the special pan that has a separator for water to boil its vapor on the bottom, wait until it smells like, well, cuzcuz, and it's good.


Either the mix I bought is old or I put too much water. In either case, it tasted DELICIOUS after some (okay, a LOT) of butter and some salt :) Next time I will make cuzcuz paulista. Google it, looks good! Oh, you can also eat it with milk and sugar, or with salty proteins like eggs, meat, chicken, cheese. Oh SO GOOD!! :)
