Ingredients
• 2 fresh
corn cobs
• 250 gm butter
• 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
• 80gm chopped red onion
• 2 bags of CEBESA ink
• Salt and pepper

Take off the leaves from the corn cobs and grind
the grains in a mixer to get a corn paste. Careful not to mix
the corn too much and turn the paste into a puree. Heat the butter
in a saucepan. Fry the garlic and the red onion at a medium heat
for five minutes. Add the CEBESA ink, the corn paste, add salt
and pepper to taste.
Cook at a medium heat for fifteen minutes approximately, until
the paste is well mixed like a dough. Retire from the heat and
leave apart to cool. To prepare the stuffing, heat the oil and
fry the onions at a medium heat until golden, for approximately
five minutes. Add the crab meat. Add a little brandy and set fire,
mix with besemal sauce and season.
To fill the tortillas, take and place a portion of the dough in
the centre of them. Cover with the filling put another portion
of dough on top. Wrap the tortilla with the corn cob leaf and
secure with a resistant thread. Cook in a little water some thirty
minutes. You can accompany this with meat claws of crab or king
prawns.
