Anybody know a recipe for Papusas...A recipe from El Salvador?

Answer 1

5 cups masa harina flour
4 cups water, approximately
16-24 ounces canned refried beans
3 cups soft white cheese
light vegetable oil or light olive oil


In a large mixing bowl, gradually stir water into masa harina until dough forms a ball that can be handled.
Into another bowl, empty the refried beans. Place the grated cheese into a separate bowl.
Divide dough into about 25 pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten between the palms of your hands to about 1/2-inch thick. Put a spoonful of beans and a small handful of cheese into the center of each pupusa. Flatten again with the filling inside.
Heat a heavy, wide-bottomed or flat skillet until hot. Brush with oil and cook pupusas on each side 4-5 minutes until a pale golden-brown. The outside should be firm.

Answer 2

Recipe Ingredients:
2 c Masa harina
1 1/2 c Warm water
1 T Ground cumin, made from
-lightly toasted cumin seed
Salt and pepper to taste
6 oz Ranchero cheese, or mild
-melting cheese such as
-Monterey jack, grated (2
-cups)
1/2 c Chopped cilantro

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recipe Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, mix together the masa harina, water, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir into a manageable dough.
The dough should be soft but not sticky; add more flour if needed.
If dough is dry and hard to form, add more water.
To make 3-inch round papusas, put about 1/2 cup of the dough in your hand for each papusa.
Roll into a ball and flatten in your hand.
Put 1/3 cup cheese, 1 teaspoon cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste in the center.
Work the edges up over the filling and again form a ball, completely enclosing the filling.
This takes only a few seconds.
Flatten each ball to about 1/4 inch or less and cook the papusas on a hot, lightly oiled griddle for about 3 minutes per side, or until both sides are lightly browned.
Serve warm.
NOTE: In El Salvador, vendors everywhere sell a street food called papusas.
They look like slightly thick tortillas, about three inches in diameter.
Hidden inside is a filling -- either of cheese, as in this recipe, or spicy meat.
They are always served with a finely chopped vinegary coleslaw with fiery pepper and sometimes cilantro.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/2 large onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium fresh green chili, seeded and minced
1 small tomato, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 pound low-fat white cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour
4 cups water, approximately
1 teaspoon vegetable oil


Directions:

In a large, non-stick saucepan, over high heat, cook the turkey, onion, and garlic until cooked through. If necessary, add small amounts of water to the turkey to prevent sticking. When the meat is firm, reduce heat to low and add the chili, tomato, and cumin. Let mixture cook until all liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool. Stir in the cheese and salt. Put the flour in a large mixing bowl and stir in enough water to make a tortilla-like dough.

Divide the dough into 25 pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball between the palms of your hands to 1/2-inch. Put a spoonful of the meat mixture in the middle of each disk of dough and enclose it firmly. Flatten the pupusas again until they about 1/2-inch thick. To cook, heat a flat, heavy-bottom skillet until it is very hot. Brush the skillet with a little oil. Cook the pupusas on each side for 4 to 5 minutes until nicely browned.

Serve immediately. Serve with curtido.
