Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
CURTIDO
  • ½ head green cabbage, cored and shredded
  • 1 small white onion, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • 4 cups boiling water (960 mL)
  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar (240 mL)
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
CHICHARRÓN
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 lb boneless pork shoulder (455 g), cut into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • ½ green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small white onion, diced
PUPUSA DOUGH
  • 4 cups masa harina (450 g)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 cups cold water (720 mL)
FILLING
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese (100 g)
  • 1 cup refried bean (240 g), cooked
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
  1. Make the curtido: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, and carrots. Pour the boiling water over the vegetables and toss. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the vinegar, oregano, and salt. Pour over the slaw and toss to coat. Once thoroughly mixed, transfer the curtido any any leftover liquid in the bowl to an airtight jar or container.
  3. Chill for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator, or chill overnight for best results.
  4. Make the chicharrón: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and salt. Cook for 15 minutes without disturbing. If the pork is browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Turn the pork over and let cook on the other side for 10 minutes more, or until crispy and golden brown.
  5. Transfer the pork to a food processor and add the tomato, green bell pepper, and onion. Pulse until a thick paste forms. The mixture should not be watery. Set aside.
  6. Make the pupusa dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the masa harina and salt, then add the water. Use your hands to mix until the dough comes together with a clay-like texture.
  7. Fill a small bowl with water and a bit of oil and set near your work station. You’ll wet your fingers with the mixture as you work to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
  8. Take a golf ball-sized portion of dough and roll into a ball, then flatten into an even round.
  9. Fill the dough round with ½ tablespoon chicharrón paste, 1 teaspoon refried beans, and 1 teaspoon mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over the filling until it’s completely sealed. Then, pat out the ball between your hands until flat. If the pupusa cracks, patch it with a bit of dough and a little oil. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  10. Heat a large pan or griddle over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil, then place 2-3 pupusas on the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-4 minutes more, until golden brown and warmed through. Repeat with the remaining pupusas.
  11. Serve the pupusas with curtido.
  12. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Prepare the cakes according to the package, or use your favorite cake recipe.
  2. To make the buttercream, mix the butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer.
  3. Once the cakes are baked and cooled, place one cake on a turntable. If you don't have one, you can use a plate. Slice the top off the cakes to create a flat surface.
  4. Place a large dollop of the buttercream on the cake and spread to create an even middle layer of frosting.
  5. Place the second cake over the layer of buttercream.
  6. Frost the entire cake to create the crumb layer, creating a smooth surface.
  7. Place the cake in the freezer to keep cold.
  8. For the glaze, boil the water, sugar, and condensed milk in a pot for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  9. Bloom the gelatin in 8 cups (2 liters) of cold water for 5 minutes, then wring the gelatin sheets of excess water and mix into the sugar mixture.
  10. Pour the sugar mixture over the chocolate, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
  11. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the chocolate and the liquid, making sure that you are not blending in air bubbles by lifting up the blender too high.
  12. Pour the glaze through a sieve into a large bowl to remove any excess bubbles.
  13. Separate the glaze into 5 different bowls (one medium-sized bowl and four smaller bowls).
  14. Color the biggest bowl of glaze with black and navy blue food coloring, stir the coloring with the glaze until the color is distributed evenly.
  15. In the next bowl, add the navy blue food coloring and stir.
  16. In the next bowl, add the lighter blue food coloring and stir.
  17. In the next bowl, add the purple food coloring and stir.
  18. In the next bowl, add the pink food coloring and stir.
  19. When you are ready to use the glaze, make sure each one is around 90-96°F (32-35°C). Microwave if necessary. Pour the colored glazes back into the biggest bowl of black and blue glaze. Swirl them gently with a spoon.
  20. Place the cake on a stand over a sheet tray to catch any excess glaze. Carefully pour the glaze over the cake.
  21. Dip a brush into the white food coloring and fling it onto the cake to create stars.
  22. Enjoy!

Here's How To Make The Best Macarons At Home
Next step: Open your very own macaron shop.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
Macarons
  • 1¾ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup finely ground almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 3 egg whites, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 drops pink gel food coloring
Vanilla Buttercream
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine. Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
  2. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form (you should be able to turn the bowl upside down without anything falling out). Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.
  3. Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold until combined. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up.
  4. Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  5. Place 4 dots of the batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, and place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet.
  6. Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper in 1½-inch circles, spacing at least 1-inch apart.
  7. Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 5 times to release any air bubbles.
  8. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until dry to the touch.
  9. Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
  10. Bake the macarons for 17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don’t stick to the parchment paper.
  11. Transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
  12. Make the buttercream: In a large bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until desired consistency is reached.
  13. Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  14. Add a dollop of buttercream to one macaron shell. Top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and buttercream.
  15. Place in an airtight container for 24 hours to “bloom”.
  16. Enjoy!
