The other day for lunch Dulce made the most amazing food ever: potato-cakes. They’re like pancakes, sort of, except made with mashed potatoes and fried, so maybe nothing like pancakes (excluding the DELICIOUS part, of course).
Well, this has inspired me to begin a series of entries about food. More specifically, I will post a recipe that I’ve gotten Dulce to tell me.
...
This week in FOOD FROM MEXICO:
Cream of Bean Soup!
- cooked beans
- condensed milk
- salt
- pepper
- chicken broth
- onions
- non-crumbly cheese
- corn tortillas
Put some beans and approximately half a can of condensed milk into a blender. Add salt, pepper, and a small amount of chicken broth, and blend until there are no more bean skins floating around. Chop up a bit of onion and cook it in some oil in a pot until it becomes clear. Add the creamy bean goop, and heat until it boils. Cut up the corn tortillas and lightly fry them in a separate saucepan (I suppose you could just use corn chips), then put some in the bowl you are going to eat from. Cube, slice or grate your cheese and put some on top of the fried tortillas, then pour some of the piping hot soup into the bowl, and enjoy. It’ll probably taste better if you dance the macarena while cooking, but results haven’t been confirmed.
Fun fact, those fried potatoes pancakes are very traditional in Judaism and are custom for Hanukkah!
