A week and a half or so ago I dived in to remake the pupusa dish that was a moderate success. I finally have a method that works for me. To get them perfectly round I decided to press out the dough balls with two sheets of wax paper and the bottom of a coffee can. Crude I know.....but they were perfectly shaped, and that was the end result I was looking for. I also switched up the cheese to use a combination of mozzarella and the fresh cheese (Quesillo). That combination was very good, and melted like a dream. Best of all, I made the oh so important CURTIDO!
Putting this little "salad" together was easier than I thought
Here's what you need.....
- Cabbage, shredded -- 1/2 head
- 1 handful of peeled baby carrots, grated.
- 3 Scallions, minced
- White vinegar -- 1/2 cup
- Water -- 1/2 cup
- 1 Jalapeño pepper, minced
- Salt -- 1/2 teaspoon
"Cook" it up.....
Place the cabbage and carrots in a large heat-proof bowl. Pour boiling water into the bowl to cover the cabbage and carrots and set aside for about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, pressing out all remaining liquid.
Return the cabbage to the bowl and toss with the remaining of the ingredients. Let set at room temperature for a couple hours if you like. Then chill and enjoy with some pupusas or other dish like it did!
