   2                tsp  Sea Salt

These delectable amaranth and masa flatbreads are stuffed with 
roasted beets, smashed chickpeas and two kinds of cheese! Drool. 
Serve with quick pickles (recipe included below).

PREP: 1 hour
COOK: 45 to 55 minutes
PASSIVE: 1 1/2 hours

Marinated Beets: One hour before making pupusas, marinate beets by 
filling a zip-top bag with orange juice, white wine vinegar, olive 
oil and sea salt. Add beets and mix around. Marinate at room 
temperature for 1 hour, moving beets around within the marinade.

Preheat oven to 375F and discard marinade. Bake beets for 30 to 40 
minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet until they are soft and 
caramelized on the edges. Set aside to cool.

Spiced Smashed Chickpeas: In a bowl, combine chickpeas, olive oil, 
minced garlic, sea salt and red pepper flakes. Use a fork to mix 
together and lightly smash half of the chickpeas.

Heat a medium pan over medium heat and add chickpeas. Cook 10 
minutes, stirring every minute or so, until browned but not overcooked.

Return the beans to the bowl and toss with lemon juice. Set aside.

Masa Dough: In a small bowl, whisk together amaranth flour, masa 
harina, tapioca starch and sea salt. Create a well in the middle and 
pour in water.

Use clean hands to mix water into the dry ingredients. It may be 
slightly wetter than you expect. Cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes.

To Assemble:

While masa is resting, make the final filling. In a food processor, 
add roasted beets and toasted walnuts. Pulse together until the 
mixture is rice-like in texture.

Once dough is done resting, create 30 balls about 1 1/2" in diameter. 
Use the palm of your hand to flatten each ball. In the center, add 1 
teaspoon each of the beet and chickpea mixtures. Finally, add 1 
teaspoon Oaxaca cheese, along with 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese.

Fold dough over the filling until it's completely sealed. Pat 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.

Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with oil 
and cook the pupusa about 4 minutes on either side, or until golden 
brown. Repeat until all the pupusas are cooked.

Serve with quick pickles (see below) served over a dollop of sour 
cream. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Quick Pickles: In a large bowl, combine cabbage and onion. Pour 
boiling water over the vegetables and toss, making sure vegetables 
are covered. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain water off.

Whisk together vinegar and salt. Place blanched vegetables into a 
Mason jar or zip-top bag. Pour in vinegar and refrigerate for 30 
minutes. The longer the vegetables sit, the stronger the pickle.
