EL MACUA (COCKTAIL)

! This fruity concoction was named el Macuá, after a tropical bird found in Central America an is the Nicaraguan national drink! The drink is one part white rum, one part guava juice, with a half-portion of lemon juice and some sugar and ice. Hopefully you can use Rum from Nicaragua but since I always have Bacardi on hand, that is what I used. I wasn't able to actually find the exact amounts for this drink. All of the recipes just said equal parts etc. Adjust this if you need to but keep the portions as stated above to keep it authentic!

MACHUCA

Machuca is a staple of the Garifuna, descendants of intermarried Africans and Carib natives who live on the Atlantic coast of Central America. It's a sticky, satisfying mash of sweet and green plantains, rolled into bites and dunked into flavorful soups, similar to the fufus of West Africa.

Steps:

  • Peel the plantains, cut them into 3-inch chunks and place them in a pot with well-salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the plantains are easily pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Drain, keeping 1/2 cup of the water, and pound the plantains to a purée in a large mortar, or purée in a food processor until nearly smooth with some small chunks. The texture should be a bit like chewy mashed potatoes. Add a few tablespoons of the cooking water while puréeing if needed to keep it soft, and season with salt to taste. Keep warm, and serve with hudutu.
