Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

(NAPSA) - Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) commemorates the immense artistic, political, and cultural contributions made by the Hispanic community within the United States. It also pays tribute to the struggle for independence of several countries-Costa Rica, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Mexico. One of the most delicious additions to modern day society is the cuisine, which varies in every town, region and country to reflect the differences in culture, history and geography. However, corn is the one ingredient that unites the numerous styles of Hispanic cooking.

In ancient times, corn was considered a gift from the gods and cultivating it was a sacred task. It nourished both the spirit and the body. Because it can endure the harsh conditions of many regions, it became a dietary staple whether eaten fresh, cooked, or ground into the meal that makes tortillas.

Corn continues to be essential to today's Hispanic kitchen and is included in everything from tamales and tostadas to pozole and salsas. Modern chefs looking to maintain the robust flavor of authentic recipes without relying on lard can use corn oil, like Crisco(r)'s All Natural 100 Percent Pure Corn Oil.

A high smoking point makes corn oil ideal for frying the family's favorite meals and produces light, crisp result without leaving a heavy aftertaste and oily residue. The robust corn taste and aroma enhance the natural flavors in everything from salad dressings to empaladas. Corn oil is also naturally cholesterol and sodium free and an excellent natural source of the antioxidant vitamin E.

Whatever your background and however you celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, this recipe for Chiles Rellenos De Queso will be sure to rally a cry for seconds. Buen provecho!
