Hāʻawi ka meaʻai Mekiko i nā ʻano ʻono like ʻole, nā mea ʻala, a me nā mea ʻala e hoʻomāʻona i kēlā me kēia palate. ʻO kekahi o nā mea ʻono kaulana loa a aloha ʻia ma Mexico ʻo ia ka flan, kahi custard creamy a decadent i hauʻoli ʻia ma ka ʻāina a ma waho. ʻO Flan kahi meaʻai maʻalahi akā maikaʻi hoʻi e hui pū i nā hua, ka waiū, ke kō, a me ka vanilla e hana i kahi ʻano momona a silika e hoʻoheheʻe i kou waha. Inā ʻoe e hoʻolauleʻa nei i kahi hanana kūikawā a makemake wale paha i kahi mea ʻono, ʻo flan ka meaʻai kūpono no kēlā me kēia hanana.
Moʻolelo o Flan: Mai Roma kahiko a hiki i Mexico hou
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ke kumu o ka flan i Roma kahiko, kahi i hui pū ʻia ai nā hua manu, ka waiū, a me ka meli e hana i kahi mea ʻono a me ka momona i kapa ʻia ʻo "tyropatina." I ka wā lōʻihi, ua laha kēia mea ʻai ma ʻEulopa a me ka Hikina Waena, me nā ʻokoʻa ma nā wahi like ʻole. Ma Sepania, ua lilo ka flan i mea ʻono kaulana i ka wā kahiko, a ua hoʻolauna ʻia ma Mekiko e nā poʻe kolepa Sepania i ke kenekulia 16. I kēia lā, ʻo flan kahi meaʻai i aloha ʻia ma Mekiko a hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i nā hoʻolauleʻa e like me ka male ʻana, ka lā hānau, a me nā lā hoʻomaha e like me Dia de los Muertos.
ʻO ka meaʻai kumu: nā mea hoʻohui a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻomākaukau
ʻO ka meaʻai maʻamau no ka flan he hua, ka waiū, ke kō, a me ka extract vanilla. Hoʻohui ʻia kēia mau meaʻai a ninini ʻia i loko o kahi kīʻaha bakena i uhi ʻia me ka ʻuala caramel. Hoʻomoʻa ʻia ke kīʻaha i loko o kahi ʻauʻau wai a hiki i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o ka custard. No ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻano ʻoluʻolu a me ka momona, pono ia e kānana i ka hui ʻana ma mua o ka ninini ʻana i loko o ka pā. Hoʻopili ʻia ke kīʻaha i loko o ka friji no kekahi mau hola a i ʻole ka pō ma mua o ka lawelawe ʻana. No ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka nani, hiki ke hoʻonani ʻia ka flan me nā hua hou a i ʻole kahi lepo o ke kinamona.
