"This recipe is a traditional Salvadorian dish. Introduced to me by one of my Salvadorian friends, a recipe that I will keep close to my heart, and now you can too ! "
Ingredients
2 cups masa harina
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon ground cumin
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
6 ounces mild cheese (or the fillng of your choice)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions:
Mix the masa harina, cumin, salt and water into a dough which is soft but not sticky. Be prepared to add more flour if necessary. If it is too dry, add more water.
To make a 3 inch round papusa, take about half a cup of dough and roll it into a ball. flatten with your hand.
Put the filling in the centre [in this case, cheese, cilantro, salt and pepper].
Work the edges up over the filling and again form a ball, completely enclosing the filling.
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.
