It's not cachapa, but it looks like it. This is really good [Eng/Esp]

If you see a preparation like this... What would you think it is made of?

Si ves una preparación como esta... ¿De qué pensarías que está hecha ?

If you are from Venezuela, you probably thought they were cachapas (whose main ingredient is sweet corn). Cachapas are very tasty, sweet enough to please, but not overly so as to be cloying. They are mainly accompanied by queso de mano, our favorite cheese, or whatever cheese we have at home.

The recipe I am sharing looks very similar to cachapas, but it does not contain corn. However, it is also sweet and tasty, contrasting with the flavor of the cheese to make every bite irresistible.

If you want to know what the main ingredient in this recipe is, or if you have already guessed, join me 😉

Si eres de Venezuela, es probable que hayas pensado que son cachapas (cuyo ingrediente principal es el maíz tierno). Las cachapas son muy sabrosas, lo suficiente dulces para agradar, pero no en exceso para no empalagar. Se acompañan principalmente con queso de mano, el queso de nuestra preferencia o el que tengamos en casa.

La preparación que estoy compartiendo se asemeja mucho a las cachapas en su aspecto, sin embargo, no tiene maíz, aunque también está dulces y sabrosa, contrastando con el sabor del queso para que cada bocado sea irresistible.

Si quieres saber cual es el ingrediente principal de esta preparación, o si ya lo adivinaste, acompáñame 😉



Ingredients for 2 small servings

  • 1 small piece of pumpkin, enough to make one cup when grated.
  • 4 tablespoons of corn flour.
  • 4 tablespoons of water.
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • 1 pinch of salt.

Ingredientes para 2 pequeñas:

  • 1 trozo pequeño de calabaza, suficiente para que al rallarla sea una taza.
  • 4 cucharadas de harina de maíz.
  • 4 cucharadas de agua.
  • 2 cucharadas de azúcar.
  • 1 pizca de sal.

Preparation // Preparación:

Cut a piece of pumpkin, wash it, and grate it using the fine side of the grater.

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir everything together until it has a paste-like consistency.

Cortamos un trozo de calabaza, lo lavamos y lo rallamos por el lado fino.

Se le van agregando el resto de los ingredientes y vamos removiendo todo hasta que quede una consistencia pastosa.

Once the point shown in the photographs has been reached, the mixture is ready to cook.

Alcanzado el punto que se muestra en las fotografías, la mezcla está lista para cocinarse.

Cook the mixture in a hot, greased frying pan. After pouring in the mixture, reduce the heat to medium.

Shape it with a spoon and cook on both sides until golden brown.

Cocinamos la mezcla en una sartén bien caliente y engrasada, luego de verter la mezcla se baja la llama a una intensidad media.

Le di forma con una cuchara y cociné por ambas partes hasta que se doraron.

The aroma is delicious, the appearance appetizing.

Just like cachapas, I served them with cheese.

El aroma delicioso, el aspecto apetecible.

Tal como las cachapas, las serví con queso.

I happily ate one without waiting. They were so tasty that I will definitely make them more often and won't have to wait for corn season every year to make cachapas. Now I know that I can make similar ones with squash much more often.

Gustosamente, me comí una sin espera. Tan sabrosa que seguramente las prepararé más a menudo y no tendré que esperar cada año la temporada de maíz para preparar cachapas, ahora sé que con calabaza puede tener unas parecidas con mucha más frecuencia.



Thank you for accompanying me 😉

I'm certainly going to try and make these, so simple and they look delicious.

Yeah, they are very easy to make and require few ingredients. Just be careful when flipping them, as they are delicate when they are not fully cooked.

So delicious and appetizing my friend. Hope you enjoyed it ❤️. Yummy 😋

Enjoy your week ahead 😇

I'm glad you liked it, dear friend 😊

Have a nice day! 🤗

You too beautiful 😍
