I did it! I made homemade pupusas filled with corn, black beans, green onion and cilantro. Served with guacamole of course! They're really easy to make, you just make a dough with masa flour(corn flour) and then make balls about the size of a large lentil ball. Then, you make a little hole, put some filling in and gently close the hole and the flatten it until it's a thin disc. The last time I made these, I cooked them in a skillet, this time I baked them. I wrote down the recipe, but I want to make them again and cook them in a skillet to compare which is the best method. I feel like they turned out better on the stove top, but since it's been awhile I just want to make sure. These would be great to make for a party or potluck because they're delicious hot or at room temperatures. And, they're one of those dishes that seem harder to make than they really are. And the possibilities are endless when it comes to filling them! Any kind of bean/veggie combo would work, and of course vegan cheese would be amazing! Like I said, as soon as I make another batch on the stove top I will post the recipe!
Our 17 year old Sweetpea nearly died last year (three days before Christmas). She has a heart condition, wasn't feeling well for a couple of days and didn't eat. Everyone who has a cat knows that even 24 hours without food can be deadly, so we started syringe feeding her this super expensive Hills Brand A/D Prescription food. She made a remarkable comeback and started eating on her own again on Christmas Day (if we weren't atheists, I'd say it was a miracle). In terms of her appetiate, she has good days and bad days, so we continue to supplement her daily diet with syringes of the Hills food and I started ordering cases from Chewy.com because it's *so* much cheaper than buying it at the vet's office.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, basically, I really like them, too.
I have a feeling the pupusas will be better cooked in a little oil on the stovetop. Please share your findings (and the recipe).
I'm so glad to hear Sweetpea got better! Yes, I'm so glad I discovered Chewy. They have such great prices and I always receive my order so quickly.
DeleteI seem to remember when I made the pupusas stove top they were better. I'll definitely report back with the recipe!
