My relationship with cachapas is very strange. I feel like eating them ,all over sudden ,and eat everyday for a week, then don’t eat them for a few months.
The taste of cachapas just different to any other food you have tried. I only use fresh corn , I tried using frozen, but didn’t like it.
The dish is very easy and very quick, you just have to have the ingredients.
Ingredients:
Fresh corn-3 pieces, kernels removed.
Masa Harina-3 tablespoons
Mozzarella- 100g finely grated
Salt, pepper
Butter
Directions:
Blend corn kernels in a food processor or whatever you have, and masa harina, salt, pepper, blend again.
Heat butter in a pan put a large spoon of mixture on a pan and with a help if a spatula press it gently and form a patty around 13 cm in diameter.
Cook for 1-1.5 and turn , immediately as soon as you turn put a layer of mozzarella.
Wait for 30 seconds then fold a cachapa in half and set aside. Even though cachapas are best to be eaten warm, cold are also tasty.
Thank you for the introduction to a Venezuelan dish! It sounds quite tasty.

This looks like a fun recipe to try for our annual “putting up corn” party. Several people join us to pick, shuck, clean, blanch, and freeze corn. Then we have a fun bbq and eat fresh corn with lots of side dishes.

It’s a corn flour, but there are few of them, it’s quite easy to get, I have a picture of a packet in the recipe.:)

I saw the picture, don’t think I’ve seen it for sale in the UK but then I’m also in quite a rural area so we don’t have lot of things.

I go to a specialized stores here in Perth, but you can buy it online, it’s quite cheap and lasts for a very long time.
