Salvadorian food

[Guest guest]

I am an ovo-lacto leaning towards vegan. My wife and

I live in Virginia. We are visiting California. My

daughter took us to a Salvadorian restaurant. We had

papusas for the first time. They were delicious.

I believe they were totally vegan except for the

cheese.

 

Does anyone have experience with these? I am thinking

firm tofu might replace the cheese. In any event I

recommend these concoctions made with masa flour,

beans, cheese, cabbage marinated in vinegar, and

topped with mild salsa.

 

My daughter also introduced me to fried yucca dipped

in a garlic sauce. This wasn't all that great. I

guess yucca is an acquired taste.

 

Muchpeace,

Jerry

I had no idea what papusas are and had to go to google to find a recipe.

The recipe calls for mild melting cheese such as ranchero or monterey

jack. So what do people think about substituting tofu for that? Also what

are the rules here about posting recipes found on someone else's web

page?

I had papusas once - years ago now - and they were delish ;=) I think

substituting tofu wouldn't work too well - for one thing it isn't 'cheesy' and

it

also doesn't melt :=( There are recipes for non-dairy cheez to be found at the

following site (which was one of the links I recently posted - it's under Recipe

Links):

 

http://www.aboverubies.org/healt.html

 

You need to click into Recipes for Health (or whatever it's called) partway

down the list on the left-hand side of the window. There is nothing that says it

approximates Monterey Jack, but you might find something else that would

work pretty well.

 

Also, there are nice meltable tofu 'cheezes' available commercially, I

understand. I am trying to think of the one that was especially recommended

on another list some months ago - perhaps someone here will remember? - it

had the word 'Heart' or 'Hart' in the brandname.

 

As for posting recipes found on someone else's web page, as long as it isn't

just a massive copying of recipes from one to the other would be okay by me

in moderation *BUT* it must be approved *first* by the copyright owner - as

usual ;=) Just ask - one is rarely refused or ignored. If it is just a webpage,

of

course, not an e-list, you can simply let us know the web address to it as I

have done for the recipes from Above Rubies mentioned, er, above ;=) No

one objects to that *lol*

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)

The recipe I found for papusas was at www.yumyum.com

 

 

It's not a vegetarian site, but it does have 2,729 vegan or vegetarian

recipes.
