Make Barbecue Corn Meal in just 30m. Spicy

Preparation of Cornmeal

1. 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.

2. 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

3. 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

4. Prepare for Grilling

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

5. 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.

6. Serve

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