Ayaka — Curaçao

Curaçao's treasured Christmas dish — spiced pork or chicken mixed with raisins, olives, capers and prunes is encased in lightly seasoned cornmeal masa, carefully wrapped in softened plantain leaves, tied with string and steamed for hours; making Ayaka is a multi-generational family ritual on the island every December.
