- Add the chicken pieces and brown 5 min/Varoma/reverse/spoon speed.
- Add water, cumin, salt and carrot and cook 35 min/100C/reverse/spoon speed.
- For the bori bori, mix by hand cornmeal, flour, cheese, egg and a little broth until a moldable dough.
- Form little balls the size of a walnut with your hands.
- Drop the balls into the boiling broth and cook 12 min/100C/reverse/spoon speed until they float.
- Adjust the salt, add parsley and cilantro and serve very hot.
Tips
- The little balls should be firm but tender; do not make them too big.
- Hen broth provides more flavor than that of young chicken.
- Serve it freshly made so the bori bori do not fall apart.
