Bollo de Coco
Corn-husk parcels of fresh maize mixed with freshly extracted coconut milk.
About Bollo de Coco
Paola describes this fresh-maize bollo with coconut as a traditional Panamanian preparation. Tender corn is ground into a soft mixture, while grated coconut is squeezed to provide the milk that enriches it.
Salt seasons the corn and coconut mixture, with sugar optional for a lightly sweet touch. Clean corn husks hold the portions and are tied closed before cooking.
The wrapped bollos are boiled, then rested briefly before their ties and husks are opened. Paola offers them hot or at room temperature for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
