We are trying to eat healthier, use less oil and not use bread and cheese. This is a version of a favourite of ours that is also on this site, but has been toned down a bit. The Dukkah mixture can also be found on this site, it is a simple toasted nut and seed mixture that is quite lovely.
from 101 cookbooks.com. We used Giant Lima Beans instead of Corona Beans.
So this is something that my mom used to make, but now that I am vegetarian I wanted to try it and see if it worked. This is an experiment. I will keep updating the recipe as I go. It may need a bit of olive oil or salt or other things. So make this at your own risk! PLUS I had all these things in the fridge so why not give it a whirl?!
*edit - it needs a little olive oil and salt, add to taste.
The filling can be almost anything. Traditionally:
Pupusas de Queso: With a cheese filling. Use grated quesillo, queso fresco, farmer's cheese, mozzarella, Swiss cheese or a combination. Add some minced green chile if you like.
Pupusas de Chicharrones: With a filling of fried chopped pork and a little tomato sauce. A reasonable facsimile can be made by pulsing 1 cup of cooked bacon with a little bit of tomato sauce in a food processor.
Pupusas de Frijoles Refritos: With a refried bean filling.
Pupusas Revueltas: Use a mixture of chicharrones, cheese and refried beans.
Pupusas de Queso y Loroco: With a cheese and tropical vine flower filling. Loroco can be found in jars at many Latin markets.
Pupusas de Arroz: A variety of pupusa that uses rice flour instead of corn masa.
Cooked potatoes or finely minced, sautéed jalapeño peppers are also tasty fillings.
I used the filling Gringo Re-Fried Beans as that is what I had on hand, it is in SP.
Try a mixture of different fillings.
The recipe uses masa harina, a special dried cornmeal flour used in making tortillas, tamales, etc. If you are able to get fresh masa, definitely use it instead. The flavor will be much fresher. Just substitute the masa harina and water with fresh masa. One pound will make about 4-6 pupusas depending on size.
from epicurious. Can be used as a quesadilla filling, a base for some great pureed black bean soup, mix with some brown rice and salsa and you have veggie rice and beans. Lots of options. Do a pot up on the weekend and use it a little at a time throughout the week.
This is a family favorite and I hope it will become yours too!
