Base Ingredients

1 cups Cornmeal

2 cups Water

Spices and Seasonings

1 tbs Smoked paprika

1 tbs Chili powder

1 tsp Cayenne pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

For Grilling

2 tbs olive oil

1/2 cups Fresh Cilantro

Method

Preparation of Cornmeal

Prepare the Cornmeal Mixture

In a medium-sized pot, combine the cornmeal and water. Stir well to prevent lumps and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Cook the Cornmeal

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Adding Spices

Mix in the Spices

In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add this spice mix to the warm cornmeal mixture and stir until well incorporated.

Grilling

Prepare for Grilling

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush a grilling pan or aluminum foil with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Form and Grill the Cornmeal

Spoon the cornmeal mixture onto the prepared grilling pan, forming small patties. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Remove the grilled cornmeal from the grill. Drizzle with lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
