Cachapa is a traditional Venezuelan dish made of cornmeal, cheese and other ingredients. It is a sweet and savory maize-based cake that is cooked on a griddle and typically served as a main dish or a breakfast food. The cornmeal mixture is poured onto the hot griddle, then topped with cheese, ham or other ingredients of choice, folded over and cooked until golden brown and crispy. The soft, melted cheese combined with the warm, sweet corn cake makes for a delicious and filling meal. Cachapa is often served with a side of sour cream or black beans.
