@foodiesbeehive. Después de varios días sin publicar, quise traerles esta preparación la cual realmente es muy sencilla y más de una vez la hemos preparado en casa. Se trata de las deliciosas palomitas de maíz o cotufas, como la solemos llamar acá en Venezuela.A warm greeting to all food lovers who make life in this community that allows us to share delicious recipes as it is
You will say: aha but, preparing cotufas does not require a lot of skills and well, let me tell you that sometimes what is simple for us, also has its trick to work and turn out well. There are many people that when preparing the cotufas at home, they get burned or they don't turn out so good. That is why this afternoon, I bring you the ideal trick so that your popcorn does not burn and you can take advantage of the fact that today is Sunday to rest and watch a movie with homemade popcorn made like in the movie theater.
In a stove, place a pot or pot to heat over medium-high heat and add the shot of oil.
When the oil is heating, add the salt and stir. Then add the 100 grams of corn for cotufas and stir constantly so that the grains cook evenly and avoid burning.
Note: the trick is to move the grains CONSTANTLY with a kitchen utensil such as a spoon, paddle, etc... but you have to move them to avoid burning.
The kernels will "explode" and as you can see in the image, popcorn will form, we will keep moving until we see that the kernels are still bursting and we cannot control them inside the pot. Then we will proceed to cover the pot, but without closing it completely so that the steam comes out and the popcorn does not get wet.
With a kitchen towel, hold the pot by its handles carefully so you don't burn yourself and shake it to move the cotufas. Wait 5 seconds and pour your cotufas in a bowl
When placing them in the bowl, move them a little so that the steam comes out and the cotufas do not get wet and they will be ready to enjoy them.
Note: If you want to prepare a considerable amount, I recommend that you do it in portions. After they are ready, you can add flavoring powder or melted butter and that's it. You have some delicious popcorn or cotufas to enjoy an afternoon at the movies at home.
You will be able to observe how many grains were left without exploding and you will notice that they were really very few.
Eso es todo amigos y amigas amantes de la comida, espero que les haya gustado esta receta. Pronto nos veremos en otro post.
That's all friends and friends food lovers, I hope you liked this recipe. See you soon in another post.
