Learn Mexican cooking

CORN AND Mexican cooking will
be the focus of acooking demonstra-
tion at Lonsdale Quay Market this
weekend.

The demonstration, sponsored
by Que Pasa, will illustrate the
unique and creative use of corn in
Mexican cuisine. Since Aztec
times, corn has been cooked slowly
in a water and lime mixture, and
then ground on stones to muke a
dough, called masa harina.

In its liquid state, before being
ground, the corn was used to make
soups, stews, and even drinks.
After grinding, the masa was
shaped, stuffed or wrapped, to
make certain types of fritters and
tamales.

Flattened into a disk, and cook-
ed on a griddle, it became a tortilla
and used as bread to lick up fri-
joles (fried beans) or stuffed to
make tacos or enchiladas.

The people of Mexico even
devised numerous ways to use the
tortillas after they had gone stale,
by using them to make casseroles,
called chiliquiles, or deep frying
them to make tortilla chips.
Covered with melted cheese, these
became the very popular
‘*nachos.”

In the cooking demonstration,
which takes place Saturday, Sept.
24 from 2 to 3 p.m., fresh masa
will be made and then used to
make tortillas. These in turn will
be used to make tamales, tacos,
enchiladas, and nachos as well as
other dishes. Recipe cards, as weil
as taste samples, will be available
for those in attendance.

Demonstrator Maru Kent was
‘porn in Mexico and has been
teaching cooking and international
cuisines both here and in Mexico
for the past seven years.
