Mote de Queso

Cultural Context

Mote de Queso hails from the coastal regions of Colombia, particularly the Caribbean area, where it serves as a comforting dish often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. Traditionally made with fresh cheese and corn dough, it reflects the rich agricultural heritage of the region. Today, variations exist across Colombia, with some adding spices or different types of cheese, making it a beloved staple in many households.

1

Peel the ñame and cut off a thin layer.

2

Wash the ñame thoroughly to remove dirt, as it is sticky.

3

Cut the ñame into small pieces for easier cooking.

4

Place the ñame pieces in a large pot.

5

Chop 1/2 onion and crush the garlic with a bit of salt to form a paste, using only half of the paste.

6

Add the onion and garlic paste to the ñame in the pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.

7

In a skillet, melt butter and add the remaining onion and garlic paste to make a sofrito.

8

Choose a firm and salty fresh cheese, cut it into cubes of about 2x2 cm, and set aside.

9

As the ñame cooks, mash it with a ladle until it becomes heavy and creamy.

10

Add the sofrito to the mashed ñame and mix well.

11

Season pork chops well and grill them, ensuring they do not dry out.

12

Once the pork chops are ready, cut them into bite-sized pieces.

13

Fry small pieces of cheese for decoration.

14

When the cream is ready, add the costeño whey and 5 minutes before serving, add the cheese, taking care not to let it melt too much.

15

Serve in a deep plate, generously adding the cheese, and finish with the chopped pork chop and fried cheese pieces.
