Contigo® Pupusas

Contigo® Pupusas
Directions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or flat-top griddle over medium-to-high heat to 375°F.
- Add cooking oil or spray to the skillet or grill so the Pupusas do not stick.
- Place frozen (or slacked) pupusas to well-oiled skillet or griddle.
- Cook for about 4 minutes, until both sides are golden and crisp (internal temp of 165°F). 5. Hold for up to 30 minutes in a warming station at 140°F or higher.
Alternate Method: Pupusas may be oven-baked. Preheat oven to 400°F. Add cooking oil or spray to a baking sheet and place Pupusas on the sheet. Bake for 5-10 min (internal temp of 165°F).
Ingredients
- 3 ea. Contigo® Pupusas
- 1/2 cup Curtido, on the side or layered on top (see recipe below)
- 2 to 3 tbsp. Salsa Roja, drizzled or served as a dipping sauce (see recipe below)
Curtido
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, onion. Toss well.
- Sprinkle in the oregano and salt. Use your hands to massage the salt and oregano into the vegetables for a couple of minutes-this helps break down the cabbage slightly and draws out moisture.
- In a separate container, mix the vinegar, hot water.
- Pour the liquid over the cabbage mix. Toss everything together, making sure the veggies are well coated. Press the veggies down to submerge in liquid (use a plate or weight if needed).
Ingredients
- 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly shredded
- 1 ea, Carrots, grated
- 1/2 ea. white onion, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup vinegar, white
- 1/4 cup water, hot
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. oregano
Salsa Roja
Directions
- In a blender, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, bell pepper, oregano and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce (careful-it might splatter). Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if it thickens too much. Adjust salt to taste. The salsa should be smooth, pourable, and lightly seasoned-just enough to enhance the pupusa.
