Pupusa Party!

This was my first attempt at making these beloved little gems and they were relatively easy; I just left the kitchen a little messy after toughing everything with my masa hands.  You can fill them with most anything. Usually they are topped with a pickled cabbage slaw, but one new recipe a day is about all I can handle. I topped mine with some salsa and radishes.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 cups of masa
• ▢ 1 ½ cups of warm water or just enough for it to hold together
• ▢ 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
• ▢ 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
• ▢ ½ can of refried beans
• ▢ ½ can of corn
• ▢ ½ of a yellow onion, diced
• ▢ 1 package of seitan, optional

Instructions

 

• heat seitan (I like mine a little burned), then add onions saute about 5 minutes
• mix in corn and beans then set aside
• add the garlic powder and salt to the masa and then add enough water to have it all hold together
• take a small handful of masa and flatten it out big enough to make a little bowl with it in your hand, then add some filling, pinch up the sides up and pat flat
• use a non stick pan or a bit of oil and cook on each side about 4 minuets or until it gets golden brown

Notes

Usually topped with pickled veggies, I just used thinly sliced radishes this time. Use what you have to add some crunch.
