3677. BACON PUPUSAS with CURTIDO SLAW

serves four 


1/2 can large flaky corn biscuits or large flaky buttermilk biscuits 
1/2 cup crispy cooked bacon, chopped in pieces 
1 tablespoons fresh green salsa 
6 strips crispy bacon 
1 1/2 cups finely shredded cabbage
1/2 cup diced green onions 
1 tablespoons rice vinegar, seasoned 
1/2 pinch salt

Separate and then flatten biscuits to 5" circles.

Mix bacon pieces and salsa in medium bowl.

Place 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon salsa filling in center of each dough circle. Enclose filling within the dough, then roll into a ball and flatten again to a circle. Place the filled pupusas on a large cookie sheet, about 2" apart. Bake in 350º oven for 10-14 minutes until golden, flipping once during the baking. (Alternate cooking method for pupusas: Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat to Medium-high heat. Cook pupusas 3-4 minutes each side, flipping until well-browned on both sides.)

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the cabbage, onions and vinegar. Add a pinch of salt.

To serve, place three slices cooked bacon on top of one pupusa. Top with slaw and fold over if desired.

3619. PUPUSAS with BACON and CHEDDAR

serves six


2 cups masa harina
1 pinch salt, kosher variety
1 1/3 cups warm filtered water
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
4 oz bacon, diced
vegetable oil, for cooking

Cook the bacon until lightly browned. Place on a paper towel to drain, and reserve the pan with the bacon grease. Combine masa harina, salt, and water in a mixing bowl, along with 2 to 3 teaspoons of the bacon grease. Knead to form a smooth, moist dough with a play dough-like consistency. Divide the dough into six equal portions and roll into balls. The balls should be about 2 inches in diameter. Using your thumb, poke a nice hole in the center of each of the balls. Fill up the hole with bacon and cheese. Wrap the dough around the filling, and seal. Make sure that there is no leakage. Pat the dough between your hands until you have a nice round disk about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Add the vegetable oil to a pan (just to cover the bottom), and bring the heat up to medium high, and then add the pupusas. Cook for several minutes per side (about 2 or 3) until each side is golden brown. Serve warm with a nice runny egg or two. Enjoy.
