Action 2 | Mamo’í he’é | Dulce de Mamón

An offering for Charles

Dear Charles…

My Dear Friend Charles,
Hope this letter finds you well,
I want to tell you a story. It is about a woman named Emilia…
She was my grandmother and she lived in a small city called Carapegua.
She loved to cook and the most memorable images that I have of her are not through the memory
of my eyes…They are scents, flavours…lots of scents and lots of flavours…
I just need to close my eyes and meditate, to get to a place of peace in my soul where I can transport myself to sense back those pleasant scents, the smell of spices…pepper, cumin, cinnamon, clove…
To the taste of cane sugar, dulce de leche, goaiba, papaya…
My heart rejoices with utmost happiness when I collect those memories because her kindness and love cover me again, just as when I was a child…
What I want to share with you is a piece of those memories. I want to take you on a journey where through one of her recipes you can feel that happiness in your heart.
The recipe that I chose is called: “Dulce de Mamon”. It is a dessert that I loved to have at my grandma’s house and it is made of very simple ingredients: papaya, cane sugar, clove and water. The only secret is to follow the ritual of making it. With patience, when waiting for the fruit to caramelize and the water to evaporate in a slow and peaceful way…
I also want to share with you the music that she would listen while cooking. I chose “Pajaro Chogui”; “Chogui Bird”, played on Paraguayan Harp. It is a fresh melody that lifts the spirit. My grandmother loved this song.

Well my friend, in the next page of my letter you will find the recipe,
May your days be filled with peace and love,

Talk soon,

Pat
