Dice el refrán: "donde fueres, haz lo que vieres" y en este caso, lo estoy tomando al pie de la letra, ya que una de las meriendas saladas más comunes en Argentina, son estas bolitas de queso y masa llamadas Chipá.

Por mi barrio - léase zona de residencia - pasa siempre en las tardes un auto con megáfono, ofreciendo chipás en venta. Nunca le he comprado, pero siempre me deja con el antojo.

Esta es una receta de origen paraguayo, que ha sido asimilada por los argentinos, convirtiendo este ícono de la gastronomía de ese país, en uno de los favoritos para merendar o aguantar hasta el momento de la comida.

Las he comido en muchas de sus versiones, y en diferentes locales, pero yo quise hacerlas yo misma, para poder comer todas las que quisiera!

Es una receta sencilla, sobre todo cuando cuentas con las premezclas como la que voy a usar hoy. Aunque muchos prefieren partir desde cero y amasar la fécula de mandioca (yuca) para lograr la masa.

Yo me fui por la salida fácil, y se las quiero mostrar hoy.

Para eso vamos a necesitar

1 paquete de premezcla para chipa
80 cc de agua
2 huevos
100 grs de queso rallado (de cualquier tipo)

Preparación

Batir los huevos con el agua, y cuando estén completamente desintegrados los huevos, incorporar la premezcla.

Agregar el queso rallado y seguir revolviendo hasta obtener una masa uniforme.

Enharinar una superficie lisa y volcar la mezcla para seguir amasando suavemente. El resultado debe ser una masa lisa y suave, aunque un poco pegajosa, por lo que te aconsejo usar guantes para manipularla mejor.

Hacer bolitas del tamaño de una cuchara y colocarlas en una bandeja aceitada.

Hornear a temperatura media por 30 minutos, o hasta que las veas doradas.

El resultado serán unas bolitas suaves, cargadas de sabor, que no podrás dejar de comer. Realmente son adictivas!

Con una bolsa de premezcla de 250 gramos, podrás sacar unas 20 bolitas. Así que toma en cuenta cuantos son los comensales, para que todos puedan comer suficiente y no quedar con el antojo para luego.

En Venezuela, mi abuela solía hacer una versión similar con la harina de maíz que se usan para las arepas, y queso llanero. Pero aunque se parecen, el gusto es completamente diferente.

Así que te invito a que te animes a probarlas y luego me cuentas.

The saying goes: "Wherever you go, do what you see" and in this case, I'm taking it at face value, since one of the most common savory snacks in Argentina are these little cheese and dough balls called Chipá.

In my neighborhood - read: place of residence - an ice cream truck always passes by in the afternoon, offering chipás for sale.

I've never bought any from him, but he always leaves me wanting.

This is a recipe of Paraguayan origin, which has been assimilated by Argentines, making this icon of the country's cuisine one of their favorites to snack on or hold out until mealtime.

I've eaten them in many of their versions, and in different places, but I wanted to make them myself, so I could eat as many as I wanted!

It's a simple recipe, especially when you have the mixes like the one I'm going to use today. Although many prefer to start from scratch and knead the tapioca starch (yuca) to achieve the dough.

I went for the easy way out, and I want to show them to you today.

For that we're going to need

1 package of chipa mix
80 cc of water
2 eggs
100 grs of grated cheese (of any type)

Preparation
Beat the eggs with the water, and when the eggs are completely disintegrated, add the mix.

Add the grated cheese and continue stirring until you get a uniform dough.

Flour a smooth surface and pour the mixture to continue kneading gently. The result should be a smooth and soft dough, although a little sticky, so I advise you to use gloves to handle it better.

Make balls the size of a spoon and place them on an oiled tray.

Bake at medium temperature for 30 minutes, or until you see them golden.

The result will be some soft balls, full of flavor, that you won't be able to stop eating. They're really addictive!

With a 250 gram mix bag, you can get about 20 balls. So take into account how many diners there are, so that everyone can eat enough and not be left wanting more later.

In Venezuela, my grandmother used to make a similar version with the corn flour used for arepas, and llanero cheese. But although they look alike, the taste is completely different.

So I invite you to try them and then tell me about it.
