CORNMEAL HOT "CEREAL "(FUNCHE)



Cornmeal Hot

I ate this as a treat with my best friend After School. It is called Funche, a Puerto Rican polenta mush. It is Sooo Good,it's warm,creamy and a bit sweet.I Use Harina de maiz mas fina(A very fine cornmeal, Goya makes it)) so its smooth not grainy.I have been searching for quite sometime but in wrong places, not thinking it was like mush but sweet :o(. I found a similar version of this on elboriqua.com.I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I also add sugar with the cornmeal so it dissolves, but that is a personal taste as to the amount of sweetness.

QUIRKY CORNMEAL QUICHE



Quirky Cornmeal Quiche image

Not sure quiche is the right word but eggs + milk, baked, sounds like a quiche to me. The "secret" ingredient is cornmeal. The cornmeal sinks to the bottom so you have a kind of polenta-y/cornbread-y bottom. Recipe from WW Core forum. IHNTY

2 cups egg substitute (or use 8 eggs)

3 tablespoons minced parsley (optional)

  • Pour mixture into pan and bake for 45 minutes -1 hour or until set in the center and brown on top.
  • Cooks note: Add whatever cheese, veggies, spices or herbs that you want, not limited to those I've listed, but keep the egg to milk ratio the same. Within reason, you can use more or less cornmeal depending on how firm you want the "crust" to be.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: For the best texture, use a finely ground cornmeal. Avoid using coarse or medium-ground cornmeal, as these will result in a gritty texture.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to prevent the cornmeal from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil before adding the cornmeal: This will help to prevent the cornmeal from clumping.
  • Whisk constantly while adding the cornmeal: This will help to ensure that the cornmeal is evenly distributed and prevent clumps from forming.
  • Cook the cornmeal over low heat: Cooking the cornmeal over low heat will help to prevent it from scorching.
  • Stir the cornmeal frequently: Stirring the cornmeal frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Season the cornmeal to taste: You can season the cornmeal with salt, pepper, sugar, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve the cornmeal hot: Cornmeal is best served hot. You can top it with butter, milk, or syrup.
