“Mule Deer Pupusa & Smoked Tomato salsa”

Written by Eric Sharpe on . Posted in News & Announcements, Stories & Member Voices.

Pupusas are El Salvadorian stuffed corn cakes served with curtido and salsa roja, traditionally stuffed with beens, cheese and pork. We have taking this incredible south/central American favoirite and given it a Mule Deer Foundation spin using some of the roast cuts from our favorite critter.  These are a great item to make ahead, wrap in foil and have waiting for you back at camp to warm up after a long day in the field. Pupusas also freeze incredibly well if your looking for a quick dinner to pull out when time seems to slip away.  The curtido is a El Salvadorian version of slaw that cuts through the richness of the cakes and is definitely a must with these.  And the smoked tomato salsa is my favorite way to use up those sweet summertime tomatoes. We keep this on hand during the summer for all sorts of uses, its sure to become one of your go to faves.
