Chipa Guasu
Paraguayan savoury corn-and-cheese cake with onion, eggs, milk and butter.
About Chipa Guasu
Paulina Cocina presents chipá guazú as a traditional Paraguayan savoury cake made with fresh corn and cheese. Grated corn gives the mixture its characteristic texture, with onion, eggs and milk enriching the batter.
The onion is cooked in oil before joining the corn and melted butter. Fresh cheese is folded through the mixture, while salt, pepper and optional nutmeg provide the seasoning.
The cake bakes until its surface is golden and its centre is firm. It cools briefly before being cut into individual portions, and can be enjoyed on its own.
