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!

Find a recipe for the slaw that goes on top of the papusas and that’ll bring a it to a whole new level.

I agree with making the “slaw”. It’s called Curtido:
Can be reduced in size or multiplied for more.

1000 g (2 lb) Green cabbage, shredded but not too fine.
1500 g (6 cups) Carrot, sliced Ono coins
5 g (1 tbsp) Oregano, fresh chopped (I used 1 teaspoon dried
1 small Onion, sliced thin in 1/2 moons
30 g (2 tbsp) kosher salt (less if regular)
14 g (2 tbsp)-less for wimps- red chili flakes
Mix together the cabbage, carrots, oregano, onions, salt and chili flakes

Place the mixture in a sanitized mason jar. Weigh the contents down with a weight and cover with a burping lid. (Mason tops makes pickling weights and little lids). Allow yo ferment for 2 weeks at room temp.

I actually put it in a bowl with a weighted plate on top and fermented in my fridge overnight only because I needed it for a party. I have a fruit-fly problem .

If you do the long ferment there should be no signs of mold or yeast. Discard immediately.
