Ehlukile kodwa efana ...
I-Arepas , i-pupusas, ne-gorditas iyafana, ngoba yiyo yonke amaqebelengwane okudla okuphekwe kwi-griddle. Kodwa yilowo nalowo uyinto ekhethekile yezwe elihlukile futhi unezici zayo ezihlukile.
Ama-Arepas adumile ku-Venezuela nase-Colombia. Zenziwe ngenhlobo ekhethekileyo yenkomo okuthiwa i-masarepa. I-Masarepa ikhiqizwa ngosomabhizinisi namuhla kepha yayisungulwe ngomzimba ekhaya ngokufaka amanzi omhlophe omhlophe noma omhlophe okomile ukuze asuse igciwane, bese epheka ummbila bese ewugcoba ube isidlo esihle samanzi esasibe sesimweni se-aypas.
Ama-masarepa akhiqizwa ngezebhizinisi inguqulo eyomile yalesi sikhumbuzo esiphekiwe, esiphezulu esiphezulu kodwa kufanele senziwe kabusha ngamanzi ukwenza inhlama ye-arepa. Ama-aspas aphekwe ku-griddle encane oyile kuze kube yilapho eboshwe ngecala ngalinye. Inhlama yezinhlamvu iyabanika ukugqoka okomuncu ngaphakathi, kanti i-griddle ikhiqiza i-crispy crust ngaphandle. Bavame ukuhlukaniswa ngesigamu futhi bagqoke ngokugcwaliswa okufana noshizi, inyama yenkomo ekhishwe ngamatshe, noma isaladi lesikhukhu. Kunezinhlobonhlobo eziningi zama-aypas, kufaka ama-aspas enziwe nge-hominy corn (i- motin noma i- maiz peto ) nama- aspasi ajulile okuthosiwe.
I-Pupus yinye uhlobo lwe-corncake e-El Salvador. Ama-pupusas amancane futhi alula ngaphezu kwama-aspas, futhi ayenziwe nge- masa harina esikhundleni se-masarepa. I-Masa harina wuhlobo lwendwangu olwenziwe kusuka emzimbeni oye waphathwa nge-lye noma esinye isisombululo se-alkaline ukususa isikhwama nesigciwane. Le nqubo, eyaziwa ngokuthi i-nixtamalization, yenza ukuthi ummbila ube nokudla okunomsoco futhi okunomsoco futhi uyenziwe ngabantu bomdabu izinkulungwane zeminyaka.
Umhlabathi ophansi masa harina nawo usetshenziselwa ukwenza ama- corn tortillas , kanti umhlabathi omningi we-masa harina usetshenziselwa ukwenza ama-tamales. I-Masa harina nayo ikhiqizwa ngokuhweba ngendlela efomile futhi kumele ibuyiswe kabusha ngamanzi ngaphambi kokusetshenziswa, kodwa i-masa harina eyenziwe yinto enhle futhi ayinzima kakhulu ukwenza.
Ama-pupusas afana namathambo aseMexico, ngaphandle kokuthi amancane kakhulu futhi agcwele ukugcwaliswa ngaphambi kokuba aphekwe ku-griddle. Ukugcwaliswa okujwayelekile kufaka ushizi, ubhontshisi, kanye nengulube yengulube ( chicharrón ).
yizici ezikhethekile zaseMexico. Ama-Gorditas afana nama-arepas, kodwa njenge-pupusas zenziwe nge-masa harina. La maqebelengwane ommbila ahlosiwe kuze kube yilapho ekhona egolide futhi ehlwitha (kodwa angabuye aphekwe ku-griddle noma ku- comal ). UGorditas uyazikhukhumeza uma ethosiwe emafutheni, enza iphaketheni le-air ngendlela efana ne-pita isinkwa. Igama elithi gordita lisho ukuthi "kancane futhi linamafutha" futhi abizwe kanjalo ngoba uma bephekwe bahlukaniswa futhi bahlutshiwe ngoshizi, anyanisi, inyama yenkomo noma ingulube, kanye / noma i-pepper pepper, futhi bakhonza nge-salsa.
