What Is Mayan Food?
I'm here in Kensington Market. A cultural haven of Toronto's culinary scene and today I'm going to try out some Mayan food. Ancient Mayan cuisine was varied and extensive. What;s in it? squash, beans, chili peppers, tortillas and the freshest avocado's. Juan is going to show me some of his favourite dishes he serves here at Ko' ox'hana.

TAMALES
INGREDIENTS
- 4 Cups (600g) dried field corn
- 2 teaspoons (7g) Calcium Hydroxide
- 8-10 Cups (2L water) Water
- A few pieces of Tequesquite dissolved in boiling water
- Corn Husks
- Any cooked filling (Turkey, Papaya, Pumpkin, etc)
METHOD
1. Wash the corn and then add to a pot of boiling water with the calcium hydroxide. Boil for 30 - 45 minutes or until the skins easy come away from the corn. Remove from the heat and allow to sit in the water 8-12 hours. Rinse and soak your corn husks in water during this time.
2. Strain the corn into a colander and rinse any residual calcium hydroxide off. Then, add the corn to a bowl of clean water and rub the skins off the corn. Repeat this process several times until the majority of the skins are off. Then grind the corn into masa.
4. Add the tequesquite water to the masa until it forms a paste. Then spread a thin layer onto a corn husk. Add any filling. Then wrap the filling with the masa by folding the corn husk over it. Then fold down the end of the husk and tie closed.
5. Add an inch of water to the bottom of the steamer and set two coins at the bottom (the sound of these will let you know if you need to add water during the steaming). Then set the steamer basket in and lay a bed of corn husks on the bottom. Add the tamales and cover with another layer of husks. Then place the lid on the pot and set the water to boiling. Steam for 1 hour. The tamales are done with they easy pull away from the husk.

[한국어 정보]
멕시코 남동부 유카탄반도로부터 과테말라 지역에까지 걸쳐 높은 수준의 발전을 이루었던 마야 문명. 왜 갑자기 붕괴했는지는 여전히 수수께끼다. 그러나 마야 후손들은 아직도 살아남은 마야인의 삶의 방식을 잊지 않고 실천하며 계승한다. 마을에 있는 한 마야 가족의 정원에서 나도 한번 경험해 볼 참이다. “여기, 미국에서 오신 한 가족이 전통 마야음식 만들기를 체험하고 있습니다. 저기 제 부인이고요” 마야 전통음식이지만 일상에서도 자주 먹는다는 이 메뉴는 바로 ‘타말레스’다. “이게 타말레스의 베이스가 될 거예요” 옥수수 반죽에 고기나 콩 등으로 속을 채워 쪄먹는 타말레스는 전쟁에 참가하는 전사에게 보양식으로 해 주던 음식이란다. “여보, 그냥 집에서 늘 하던 것처럼 할게” 타말레스 완성을 책임지는 건 이 잎사귀. 요리의 핵심이다. “여기 아주 근사한 플랜틴나무가 있죠” 뿌리, 열매, 잎까지 플랜틴 바나나는 어느 하나 버리지 않고 모두 쓴다. 이처럼 이든씨네 정원은 식용 또는 약용 목적으로 심어둔 갖가지 식물들로 가득하다. “이 예쁜 잎은 ‘꿩의 꼬리’라고 부릅니다. 고대 마야인들도, 오늘날의 마야인들도 또 저도 잘 이용하고 있는 식물이죠. 통증에 좋아요. 등 같은 데가 아플 때 이 잎사귀를 쪄서 증기를 쐬면 됩니다” 수천 년에 걸쳐 전해져 내려오는 마야인들의 생약 민간요법은 여전히 실생활에서 요긴하게 쓰인다고 한다. “다 같이 만든 스프예요” 카사바, 초초 등 뿌리채소만으로 만든 스프,맛이 담백하면서도 고소하다. “이분들은 자연을 훨씬 더 잘 이해하고 있어요. 우리는 몇몇 마야인들과 관계를 맺었는데, 그들이 이곳 환경에 얼마나 융합되어있고 자연을 어떻게 활용하는지 지켜보는 건 제게 아주 신나는 일이에요“고대 마야인들은 식사 때마다 음식으로 인해 건강할 수 있음에 감사를 표했다고 한다. 우리 표현 ‘신토불이’가 떠오른 기분 좋은 한 끼였다.

It is still a mystery why the sudden collapse of the Mayan civilization, which has achieved a high level of development from the Yucatán peninsula in the southeastern part of Mexico to the Guatemalan region, but the Mayan descendants succeeded in practicing the way of life of the Mayans who were still alive. I am going to experience it in the garden of a family of Maya. Here, a family from the United States is experiencing traditional Mayan food, and there is my wife. This menu, which is traditional Mayan food, Tamales is the base. This is the base of the tamales. Tamales, who feeds on corn dough with meat or beans, is a food for the warrior who participated in the war. Honey, I'll do what I always do in This leaf is responsible for the completion of tamales. Here is a very nice plantine tree. Plantine bananas are all roots, fruits, and leaves, and not all of them are planted, so the Garden of Eden is full of various plants planted for edible or medicinal purposes. This pretty leaf is called 'the tail of the pheasant', ancient Maya, today's Maya and I also use it well.I like the pain.If you are sick like your back, you can steam this leaf and steam it up. Thousands It is said that the Mayan herbal remedies that are passed down over the years are still useful in real life. It's a soup made together. Soup made from only cassava and edible root vegetables, We have a much better understanding, we have some relationships with some Mayans, how they are fused into the environment here It is very exciting for me to see how nature is used. Ancient Mayans say they appreciate the health of their meals every meal.
