Salvadorian Patties With Coleslaw And Tomato Sauce Recipes

SALVADORIAN PATTIES WITH COLESLAW AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion and raw carrot, stirring for about 2 minutes.
• 2. Season ground beef with oregano, salt, pepper and then add it to the pot, stirring occasionally until brown.
• 3. Drain the grease once the beef is cooked, and then return to heat. Add in potatoes (and green beans if using.) Stir to combine and remove from heat. Season with a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce and additional salt to taste. Set aside and allow to cool.
• The Masa/Dough: 3 cups MASECA masa harina 1 tsp. salt 1 tablespoon achiote molido/ground annatto 3 cups water
• 1. Mix the dry ingredients and then add the water a cup at a time, mixing by hand until combined. Set aside. Keep a bowl of fresh water nearby for wetting your hands as you form the patties.
• Forming the Patties: 1. With moist hands, take a handful of masa, slightly larger than a golf ball, and shape it into a tortilla.
• 2. Put a large spoonful of filling in the middle and then bring the sides of the tortilla together like a taco and seal by closing your hand gently to form the pastel into a half-moon shape
• 3. Fry patties in a large, deep pan with plenty of canola oil over medium-high heat, flipping to slightly brown on each side. Remove to paper towel-lined pyrex or plate.
• 4. Serve patties with the coleslaw and the tomato sauce. Makes approximately 18 with leftover filling (which is great the next day over rice as picadillo!)
