Instructions

  1. Rinse the casings several times in vinegared water and drain them.
  2. Finely chop the onions, garlic and chilli, then fry them in the oil until soft.

  4. Season with the salt, cumin, pepper, chilli and maize flour, then mix for 2 minutes.
  5. Fill the casings with the mixture using a funnel, without packing it too tightly, then tie off the ends with string.
  6. Grill the mutura on a barbecue or in a pan over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them, until golden and cooked through.

Variations and tips

Mutura without casings. Shape the filling into small patties and fry them in a pan for 4 minutes on each side.
