How to make Halluces Maracuchas, Creoles and Venezuelans:
- In advance, soften the Pork and Beef Meats.
- To the water to soften the meat, add several bay leaves and 8 cloves.
- Do not leave the meat too soft, because later, during the preparation of the stew, the cooking process will continue.
- The water that we have left from cooking the Meats. Don’t throw it away; put this water to reduce, to later be used in the preparation of the stew.
- Chop the meat into small squares or a size to taste.
- The fat or butter, left over from the pig; I recommend chopping them into very small pieces and placing them in a cauldron with a little water.
- Cook until the butter turns into peas; we will use this butter that results from this process to add it to the corn flour.
- Finely chop vegetables.
- Heat the ½ liter of Oil together with the Achiote, this to give color to the oil and therefore to the Stew.
- Sauté vegetables until tender.
- At this time add. Salt, Adobo, Cumin, crushed Garlic, Worcestershire Sauce; all to taste
- Add the water that we had previously and we had reserved for the stew.
- Dissolve a Pamela in hot water, a little water and then pour it into the stew. (Better if we take a little of the water from the stew and dissolve the panel)
- Add the Chickpeas, Capers, Half the Olives and half the Prunes.
- Add the meats. And correct the flavors. Let dry enough, until it is a little juicy.
- Potatoes and Carrots must be previously cooked and chopped (into small squares). And add when the stew is ready, even when it’s off, I mean outside the kitchen.
- The remaining half of the Olives and Plums are added once the stew is cold. Or just before beginning the preparation of the halluces.
- Knead; 1 package of Corn Flour, with the Butter that we obtained from the Pork and the onto to give it color.
- Extend the dough on the sheet and I think no more explanation is needed.
