The crowning jewel is a sauce made with roasted red peppers, fresh rosemary, and Gorgonzola cheese.    This should definitely be a “show stopper”.

Bunuelitos de Maiz (Corn Fritters)
If you don't ride off into the sunset and stay for dessert, you may find these slightly sweet fritters go really well with a cold beer.  A coarse corn puree mixed together with flour, sugar, baking powder and salt is a simple batter.  But then it is deep fried until golden and served warm with a light coating of powdered sugar.
