Sure, eating out at a restaurant is great, but eating a home-cooked meal made by an abuela is a culinary experience no restaurant out there could ever match!
There is love behind each bite, and their methods are always coveted family secrets...until now.
It's time to share the life-changing kitchen advice you've gotten over the years from her for the sake of our own cooking. So tell me: What's the best cooking tip you've learned from your abuela?
Maybe she taught you not to waste ripped corn husks when making tamales by patching the hole or tear with another corn husk over it. She might have even taught you how to do a double knot tied around your more structurally vulnerable tamales in order to save them from falling apart.
Perhaps she taught you that toasting rice prior to cooking it will bring out more of its flavor.
Or maybe she taught you to add a bit of seasoned olive oil to your mofongo mixture if it comes out a little dry when mashing.
