HOMEMADE ESQUITES: Original Mexican Recipe
Corn is the staple grain of Mexican cuisine, and one of the most popular ways to eat it is raw, without grinding it into flour. Simply cooking the kernels in water makes them incredibly soft, adding delicious textures and flavors.
This year, I had the opportunity to try corn kernels prepared in a way I'd never experienced before: esquites, a dish typical of central Mexico. At first, I thought it was just another name for the cooked corn kernels sold throughout most of the country, served with chili, lime, cheese, and sometimes cream—a truly basic dish. However, after a closer look at the pot the vendor was using in the town where I found them, and after smelling the aromas emanating from it, I realized it was a dish I'd never encountered before.
