Pupusa

The pupusa is the most famous food in El Salvador. Pupusas can use meat, vegetables, cheese and beans. My grandmother taught me the recipe. I wanted to let more people know about El Salvador, so I wrote the recipe for the pupusa.

 

Ingredients　　Serves 4

2 Teaspoons Oil

2 Cups Rice Flour

1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese

1/4 Cup Milk

3 Cups of Water

 

1: Make the dough:

• Put 2 cups of Rice flour in a large bowl and slowly mix a little hot water and rice flour.
• Keep adding water until you can make the dough into balls.
• Wait for 10 minutes.

2: Combine the milk and cheese:

• Grate some mozzarella cheese and place into a blender.
• Add 1/4 cup of milk into the blender and blend the ingredients.
• Place the blended cheese into a bowl.

* If you have refried beans, you may mix the beans with the cheese.

* People from El salvador like to add loroco to the cheese.

3: Start making the pupusas:

• Use your hands to cover the dough in oil and flatten the dough into 8 circles.
• Add 3 tablespoons of filling on top of the circle.
• Place a new dough circle on top of the circle with filling.
• Close the edges of the pupusa and add dough if there is a hole.
• Cook each pupusa on a frying pan.
• Flip the pupusa.
• Cook both sides until you see large parts of the pupusa turn brown on the top and bottom, then the pupusas will be ready.
