Costa Rica's Caribbean coast boasts cuisine with Jamaican roots, favoring tropical fruits, and dishes featuring grouper, seafood, rice, and beans are rich with coconut milk, plantains, hot peppers, ginger, and rosemary. If you're feeling adventurous, try corn pancakes; you definitely need to try Costa Rican pancakes made with fresh corn. They're just as easy to make: just cut the kernels off the cob and blend them with a standard set of ingredients. They're similar to pupusas (corn tortillas filled with a mild cheese and delicate squash blossoms or loroco (edible grape flowers)). Therefore, you can serve these pancakes with tomato sauce for dipping, as well as sauerkraut and sausage.
