Description
The carbines are preparation in the form of not very large hawks or buns, typical of the Andean Region. They are made with corn dough, can be stuffed with a stew cooked with grains, and wrapped in leaves.
These buns are eaten throughout the year. They can be wrapped in banana leaves, bromeliad leaves in the area or the leaves of a tuber called juquian. The best known are those made with black bean stew in seasoned corn dough.
Cooking Instruction from Frozen:
Steam it for 45 minutes, (boil 30 minutes) take it out from the steamer and leave the Carabina to rest for 10 minutes for the flour to set. Unwrap the hallaca and enjoy.
If the Carabina is defrosted, steam it for 30 minutes, (boil 20) leave the set for another 10 minutes, unwrap and enjoy.
Note: Carabina can be either steamed or boiled. But we highly recommend to steam it.
