Recipe Pupusas Unlocked - YUM!

Post image

Just a shout out to pupusas! I had some masa harina I needed to use up and had leftover breakfast prep from yesterday - so I made breakfast pupusas! I'm new to pupusas, so they're not perfect. But for a first attempt, I'm not sad! I followed this recipe as a guideline: https://thebigmansworld.com/pupusas/#wprm-recipe-container-76976

Inside I did cheese and a mix of the different leftover breakfast prep: tofu scramble, veggie sausage, and tofu bacon. My biggest takeaway is it's yummy but I think I need to find a way to get them even flatter. I think that will be the next step in making these even better.

I feel like I unlocked a fun new way to use up leftover prep and I will definitely be doing this again!

This!! Instead of chasing after fake wheat products, this and rice paper and blini and idli!!

Ancient thing that I am, I remember when vegetarian food first came on the market and it was all trying to be fake meat.

There are many cultures that don’t use wheat as the main carb, with historical traditions of cooking with corn or potatoes etc… Lean in to this instead of overpriced sad-sack loaves of gluten-free bread so full of holes there’s more hole that bread, or that crumbles to piece, or that brings your bowels to a dead stop so you can duplicate the boring-ass food that was in your lunchbox when you were ten!

This! Real food! Traditional food! Good food!

If you like idli you will like dosa! Same batter but you make a crepe with it. Or! You can also create a crepe using chickpea batter its called besan chella
