What is an Hallaca?
Its name is pronounced "ah-ya-ka" and to simplify, you could say: it's like a Venezuelan Tamale.
However, there is a huge difference between Mexican Tamales and Hallacas. Hallacas preparation includes European ingredients such as (Raisins, Nuts and Olives), Indigenous ingredients (Corn meal colored with Annatto seeds), and African ingredients (Smoked Plantain Leaves used for wrapping).
