Ingredients
1 ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
2 clove garlic, minced (2 tsp)
1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cu; p)
2 cup cold water (to 3 cups)
1 salt & fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup fine (stone ground) cornmeal
Cooking Directions:
Servings: 6 to 8 Notes: Angu (pronounced "aing goo") is a sort of polenta, one of the many cooked starch pastes one finds in Brazil. For best results, use a fine, stone ground cornmeal.
DIRECTIONS: Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic and onion over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft but not brown. Add 2 cups water and bring to a rapid boil.
Add the cornmeal in a thin stream through your fingers, stirring vigorously to prevent lumps. The mixture should be the consistency of choux pastry or soft ice cream. If too thick, make a hole in the angu with a wooden spoon and stir in a little cold water. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Correct the seasoning and serve at once.
Note: For a prettier presentation, the angu can be spooned into a thickly buttered tube pan and unmolded onto a platter. (Picture in magazine shows that a fluted tube pan was used, and the center of the unmolded angu was filled with flat leaf parsley- or cilantro?
