CHEESE PUPUSAS RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Cheese Pupusas Recipe - NYT Cooking image

Cheese pupusas — stuffed, griddled masa cakes — and their accompanying slaw, curtido, are quintessential Salvadoran street foods. This recipe is adapted from Janet Lainez, who has been making them for homesick Latinos every summer at the Red Hook Ball Fields for nearly 25 years. She likes to use mozzarella rather than Salvadoran cheese — preferably Polly-O, established in Brooklyn, 1899.

Provided by Francis Lam

Total Time 40 minutes

Yield 9 pupusas (3 to 4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups masa harina (9 ounces by weight)
1 1/2 cups water
12 ounces industrial mozzarella, grated (preferably Polly-O whole milk)
Vegetable oil, as needed
Curtido, for serving (see recipe)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the salt well into the masa harina. With your hands, knead the water into the masa harina in a few additions; work in all the water evenly. The dough will feel like stiff mashed potatoes. Lay a 12-inch square of plastic wrap or a zip-lock on a smooth work surface.
  • Divide the cheese into 9 equal piles. Roll a 2-ounce ball of dough in your hands, about the size of a golf ball, and pat it out in your hand to form a disc a little larger than your palm. (If the dough is very sticky, lightly moisten or oil your hands.) Pat a pile of cheese onto the masa, leaving just a little space around the edges (cup your hand slightly if it helps). Carefully close your hand to bring the edges of the disc closer, and use your other hand to pat and pinch it together to enclose the cheese in a rough ball. Patch any holes with a little more masa, but don’t worry too much — cheese that leaks out will brown deliciously in the pan. Moisten or oil the plastic wrap, and pat out the pupusa on it, forming a disc about 4 inches wide. Repeat, forming a second pupusa.
  • Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, and very lightly grease it with oil. When the oil appears thin, lay the pupusas in the pan, and cook until richly browned in spots, about 4 minutes. (If you can fit 3 or 4 pupusas at a time in the pan, increase heat to medium-high.) It’s O.K. if the cheese starts to bubble out. Flip the pupusas, and cook another 4 minutes, until they’re browned and cooked through. Serve finished ones immediately with curtido, and repeat forming and cooking the remaining pupusas.

Provided by Grace Parisi

Total Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Yield 8 Pupusas

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups masa harina (see Note)
1 3/4 cups very warm tap water
Kosher salt
1/2 cup shredded roasted chicken
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
2 tablespoons minced dry chorizo
Cayenne pepper
About 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
Sour cream, pickled jalapeños, chopped onion, guacamole and hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, using your hands, mix the masa harina with the water and 1/2 teaspoon salt until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough stand for 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the cheddar, queso fresco and chorizo. Season with salt and cayenne.
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Working with 1 ball at a time and keeping the rest covered, press the dough in the palm of your hand to form a cup with walls about 3/8 inch thick. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling into the cup and pinch to seal. Pat the filled dough into a flat 4-inch patty; pinch to seal any cracks. Set the pupusa on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough and filling.
  • In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 cup of the oil until shimmering. Add 4 pupusas and cook over high heat, turning once or twice, until golden and crisp outside and heated through, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pupusas, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. Serve the pupusas with sour cream, pickled jalapeños, chopped onion, guacamole and hot sauce.

CHEESE PUPUSAS WITH ZUCCHINI RECIPE - QUERICAVIDA.COM
Cheese pupusas have always been one of my favorite dishes since I was a child. When making pupusas, the cheese melts into the soft tortilla mix, and it transforms into a traditional dish from El Salvador and other Central American countries. The corn used to make the pupusas is nixtamalized, which gives it a particular flavor and texture. For this recipe, I mixed the cheese with grated zucchini to make a new variation of delicious pupusas.

BEAN & CHEESE STUFFED PUPUSAS | RECIPES | WW USA
Pupusas are thick corn cakes made from masa harina that are typically stuffed with tasty fillings before they’re cooked. They’re the national dish of El Salvador, where they’re often served with a tangy cabbage slaw called curtido. The masa gives them a deep, rich corn flavor, and cooking them in a hot skillet creates a crispy exterior and tender, moist interior. Look for masa harina in the Latin foods section of large supermarkets, or on the baking aisle near the cornmeal. We use mozzarella cheese here because it’s a good stand-in for harder-to-find Oaxaca cheese.
