Regarding the pancake

  • $1.32

Directions

  1. Roast the chili peppers, tomatoes, and garlic in a very hot oven to make it easier to remove the skins.
  2. When they are dark, but not burned, place them in a plastic bag and let them cool down: they will then easily peel off.
  3. Remove the seeds, as they have no culinary value. ≈ 3 min
  4. Prepare the pancake: mix the semolina and salt, add the water, and knead for at least 30 minutes. Form small balls, flatten them, and cook them on both sides over low heat in a clay or cast-iron pan.
  5. In a wooden mortar, crush the hot peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro. ≈ 4 min
  6. Crush the cake into small pieces, add it to the mortar, and grind everything together. ≈ 3 min
