Millas Recipe

For such a simple food, the making of this millas recipe has been a meticulous process for many centuries. Cornmeal must be sprinkled across the surface of boiling water and stirred continuously while it cooked. The process isn't hard, but one mustn't stop stirring the mixture. Even a short break can result in unevenly cooked lumps in the fine cornmeal paste. Serve the fried millas as a savory, salted side dish or dusted with sugar for a rustic dessert. Bon appetit!
