Talk:Indio Viejo/@comment-76.19.143.5-20100306204959

I am nicaraguan and this recipe is not correct at all. indio viejo is a nicaraguan polenta, there are no beans, eggs, cheese, sour cream at all. this is the real recipe - indio viejo corn flour very fine, or fine corn meal meat of your choice either beef, chicken or whatever you want bell peppers,tomatos and onions and garlics. fresh mint sour orange juice oil annato

basically you just make a polenta. you slow cook the meat separate, and when done you shred it just like pulled meat and set it aside. use the garlic,tomatos, onions and bell peppers to season the corn flour and cook all of it with water just as you would polenta, it should have a porridge consistency. take the meat you set aside and fry it with onions and bell peppers and add that to your polenta with ground annato for color. mix every thing together and add fresh mint leaves and a bit of sour orange juice. its ready to serve.

many "fake" nicaraguan recipes are circulating in the web but they are not nicaraguan at all. email me for real nicaraguan recipes bumblebee519@hellokitty.com
