Nacatamale

Managua, Nicaragua

A Nicaraguen entree. The most famous food dish that comes from Nicaragua. It's a large tamale of sorts that usually 3 times the size of a mexican tamale. Made from cornmeal, with spiced pork,a green olive,rice,onions,tomatoe ,green bell pepper,potato,a bit of fresh mint,a chili( it doesn't make it hot though ) and capers. Sometimes a prune or raisins are included. It's all wraped in banana leaf ( for flavor ) and then wraped in waxless paper and tied with string. This one was served at Dona Haydee.
