PUPUSAS
This is a fairly authentic version of the popular Salvadorean dish. It does take some time, however it is well worth the effort! You can purchase pre-made chicharron at specialty markets, however this recipe tastes just like it. I also make the salsa roja and curtido ahead of time (the salsa freezes very well, and the curtido can stay in the fridge at least a week).

Steps:
- Combine tomato sauce, water, cilantro, green bell pepper, onion, crushed garlic, bouillon cube, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Let salsa roja cool for 10 minutes.
- Fill a blender halfway with the salsa roja. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a bowl. Repeat with remaining salsa roja. Return to saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes more stirring occasionally. Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour, and refrigerate.
- Place cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Add 4 cups boiling water and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain well. Mix in vinegar, scallions, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Chill curtido until serving.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until almost fully cooked and not yet crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer bacon and grease (if desired) to a food processor. Add tomatoes, quartered green bell pepper, Monterey Jack cheese, and minced garlic. Puree and season the chicharron with salt.
- Mix masa harina and 1/2 cup water together in a bowl by hand. Add the remaining water slowly, about 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well after each addition, until dough is moist but still firm. Cover with a wet towel.
- Heat 1/2 cup oil a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Take a golf ball-sized piece of dough and roll into a ball in your hands. Make a hole in the dough ball with your thumb; put a small amount of chicharron inside the hole, close it up, and flatten the ball with your hands into a thick tortilla shape. Place pupusa in the skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining dough and chicharron.
- Serve each pupusa topped with 2 tablespoons of curtido and 1 tablespoon of salsa roja.

Steps:
- Make the masa dough: in a large mixing bowl mix together the masa harina, salt, warm water, and oil with a wooden spoon. Knead it by hand for about 1 minute to make a smooth ball of dough. It should be soft but not very sticky. Cover and let rest for at least 15 minutes to fully hydrate.
- Divide the dough into 6 pieces and keep covered. Take one piece of a dough at a time and flatten into a thick pancake between your hands, add about 1 tablespoon of black beans or filling to the center of the disk and then add a little vegan cheese and peppers. Fold the edges of the dough over to cover and meet in the center. Flatten it between your hands to make a thick stuffed pancake. See post for photos and video showing detail.
- Place shaped pupusas on a tray (line with parchment paper to help prevent any sticking), and once they're all shaped, heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Add some oil to the pan or griddle to lightly coat, then fry about 2-4 minutes on each side, until golden with some dark spots. Work in batches as needed until all are cooked.
- Eat hot and topped with curtido or a cabbage slaw and salsa roja.

PUPUSAS RECIPE
It's hard to beat a good pupusa. The dough is made from masa harina, instant cornflour in many different colors and flavors. Pupusas are traditionally filled with cheese or pork (or both), but you can fill them up with whatever you have on hand! I've included a recipe for the traditional version below, as well as one for sweet pupusas that are stuffed with bananas and chocolate chips.

From the streets of El Salvador, these are masa 'cakes' with a filling that is fried. The usual fillings are meat or cheese but there is no reason why beans etc could not be used.

PUPUSAS DE QUESO (CHEESE-STUFFED TORTILLAS)
An El Salvadoran treat, these homemade tortillas stuffed with cheese are great with a traditional coleslaw called curtido. To serve, slice open one side of a pupusa, and spoon curtido into the opening. Farmer's cheese or mozzarella can be substituted for queso blanco.

- Combine tortilla flour, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and knead with your hands until a uniform dough forms, about 1 minute. (Dough should be moist but not sticky. If necessary, knead a little more tortilla flour or water into dough.)
- Flatten 1/4 cup dough between moistened palms into a 4-inch disk. Wrap disk around a ball of filling, enclosing it, and form into a smooth ball. Reflatten between your palms into a 4-inch disk (1/2 inch thick; filling should remain hidden). Put on a tray lined with plastic wrap and cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying.

PUPUSAS (MASA CAKES) WITH BACON AND CHEDDAR
A pupusa [pu'pusa], is a traditional Salvadoran dish made from a thick, handmade corn tortilla that is usually stuffed with a blend of cheeses, pork and/or refried beans. I made these years and years ago, and today when I was going through my recipe files, I found it. These are incredibly easy to make and the way I make them,...

Steps:
- 1. Gather your ingredients.
- 2. Put the bacon in a pan.
- 3. Chef's Note: The pan should be big enough to cook the Pupusas.
- 4. Cook the bacon until lightly browned.
- 5. Place on a paper towel to drain, and reserve the pan with the bacon grease.
- 6. Combine masa harina, salt, and water in a mixing bowl, along with 2 to 3 teaspoons of the bacon grease. The bacon grease is optional... good, but optional.
- 7. Knead to form a smooth, moist dough with a play dough-like consistency... Remember play dough?
- 8. Chef's Note: What is Masa Harina? Masa harina is the traditional flour used to make tortillas, tamales, and other Mexican dishes. Literally translated from Spanish, it means "dough flour," because the flour is made from dried masa, a dough from specially treated corn.
- 9. Divide the dough into six equal portions and roll into balls.
- 10. Chef's Note: The balls should be about 2 inches in diameter. I suspect you will get from 6 to 8.
- 11. Using your thumb, poke a nice hole in the center of each of the balls.
- 12. Fill up the hole with bacon and cheese.
- 13. Wrap the dough around the filling, and seal. Make sure that there is no leakage.
- 14. Pat the dough between your hands until you have a nice round disk about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- 15. Add the vegetable oil to a pan (just to cover the bottom), and bring the heat up to medium high, and then add the Pupusas.
- 16. Cook for several minutes per side (about 2 or 3) until each side is golden brown.
- 17. Chef's Tip: I went crazy and used the same pan that I cooked the bacon in... So, I cooked them in bacon grease (I think I have a death wish). If you don't want to use the bacon grease, just wipe out the pan and use the vegetable oil.
- 18. Serve warm with a nice runny egg or two. Enjoy.
- 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

- Slowly add the warm water to the bowl and mix with your hand until you have a moist and soft dough.

- Fold the dough as if making an empanada. Use the plastic bag to help you do this.
- Shape it back into a ball. Use the bag to help you do this.
- Put the flap back over the ball and flatten again. It shouldn't be thin like a tortilla. They should be thick.
- Heat up a skillet over medium heat.

- Once the oil is hot add the pupusa and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the pupusa is nicely browned and cooked through.

- To a medium bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrots and Mexican oregano. In a measuring cup, stir together the hot water, vinegar, salt and sugar; pour it over the cabbage/carrot mixture. Allow it to come to room temperature and then cover it with plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge for at least 4 hours and preferably a day before serving.
- Add the water to a measuring cup and pour in the oil (you can eyeball this). Lightly dip your hands in the water/oil mixture, making sure your palm are evenly coated. This will make it so the masa doesn’t stick to your hands.

- Combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1 cup warm water in a small bowl. (You'll dip your hands in this mixture to keep the pupusa dough from sticking to your hands as you form the cakes.)
- Whisk together masa harina and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Slowly add warm water, stirring constantly, until all of the water is incorporated and dough is moist and pliable. (Start with 1 1/2 cups warm water and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.)
- Dip your hands in oil and warm water mixture to moisten your fingers and palms. Scoop out about 1/8 of the dough, a little larger than a golf ball. With your hands, roll into a ball then gently press back and forth between your palms, shaping the dough into a disc, 3 to 4-inches wide. Add a large pinch of shredded cheese to the center of the disc and gently press the sides up all the way around to seal. Use your palms to press the ball back into a disc about 1/2-inch thick and place on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining dough.
