Making boxbol is not as easy as it looks, but we had a great teacher who was extremely patient and allowed us to make many mistakes. What was most refreshing and humbling about this experience was that she provided us with many opportunities to correct our mistakes and improve our practice of making the traditional dish. Boxbol is made by filling a large squash leaf with a maize or corn mixture.. Once rolled, it is then boiled. Also pictured above, are the two sauces that accompany the dish, one is made of chile and tomatoes and the other is a pumpkin seed sauce which provides a contrast to the boxbol taste. This was the first time we were introduced to a new combination of spices.
