For those who ask for cheese, in CABA you get everywhere "Llanero cheese" or "Venezuelan cheese." That is
They are richly probe them on the beach this summer in Monte Hermoso, the sauce was of avocado, garlic and very good mayonnaise
Hello to those who ask what cheese can be used in Argentina, I have made them with sardinates and they are great. The idea is that it is a hard and something salty or tasteful cheese to contrast with the dough. A creamy cheese or mozzarella can tend to melt and get out of the dough making I interference in the oil, in addition it does not provide flavor.
They can fry perfectly. Then they are fried directly in very hot oil.
Data: baked are great too and they are a perfect breakfast for adults. It is not necessary to always accompany with sauce. We Venezuelans love them so alone with nothing?
Paulina, how nice you like our Tequeños!
My recipe is a bit different from this, but I suppose it must work. The only thing I can point out is that it is not necessary to fry in olive oil (it is very expensive), you can do it in corn oil (as we traditionally do) or sunflower, so you can use a sufficient amount, as if you were fringing fritters or empanadas.
This publication is almost a year, but I start answering some things ...
to the person who asks if they can be freely, the answer is yes ... and for several months, even I prepare them freezing at least 15 minutes before frying them.
To the person who asks about the "llanero cheese", that is the name with which they can get it in Argentina, in many businesses and kiosks of Venezuelan products and even in some neighborhood fans they already have it.
I hope you enjoy them and keep knowing more dishes of the gastronomy of my country!
