  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 small onions finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 4 pimento peppers finely chopped
  • Celery finely chopped
  • 2 Chadon Beni/Culantro leaves finely chopped
  • 3 cups coconut milk
  • 1 ½ cups Water
  • 1 ½ cup fine yellow cornmeal
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¾  teaspoon Black Pepper

 

Method

Place a medium sauce pan over high heat. Add vegetable oil and when heated, add the onions, garlic and pimentos. Sauté for 1 ½ minutes.


Add in the celery, chadon beni. Continue sautéing for an additional minute then add in the ochros and cook for 2 minutes more.


Pour in the coconut milk, water. Reduce heat to medium, stir and bring to a simmer.


Once small bubbles break the surface of the milk, with a whisk in one hand and the bowl of cornmeal in the other, gently scatter the cornmeal onto the surface of the simmering milk in 3 portions and whisk vigorously to incorporate after each addition.


If cornmeal is getting too thick, immediately shift pot off the fire onto the side and switch over to a rubber spatula to mix the coo coo into a smooth consistency.


If still lumpy, add a ½ cup of warm water to the cornmeal and return to the heat for a little while as you work out the lumps to a porridge consistency.


Mix in the salt and black pepper and pour coo coo into a lightly buttered 9 x 13 inch Pyrex dish. Smoothen the top of the coo coo with the spatula for a clean finish and let set up for 15 – 20 minutes until firm to the touch.

  1. Hey, honestly your site is coming along :-), but I had a question – it’s a bit slow. Have you thought about using a different host like propel? It’d help your visitors stick around longer = more profit long term anyway. There’s a decent review on it by this guy who uses gtmetrix to test different hosting providers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6s0ciJI4W4 and the whole video has a bunch of gold in it, worth checking out.

  3. Picture this – 3 am in the morning, I had a line of fiends stretched around the corner of my block. It was in the freezing middle of January but they had camped out all night, jumping-ready to buy like there was a sale on Jordans. If you were 16 years old, in my shoes, you’d do anything to survive, right? I got good news though; I MADE IT OUT OF THE HOOD, with nothing but a laptop and an internet connection. I’m not special or lucky in any way. If I, as a convicted felon that used to scream “Free Harlem” around my block until my throat was sore, could find a way to generate a stable, consistent, reliable income online, ANYONE can!
