  8. Remove from heat and add the parmesan and most of the parsley, stirring until the cheese has melted.

Sopes

Mexican: Sopes

Makes 6 sopes approximately 10cm in diameter, can decrease size for more of a snack bite as desired. Increase recipe size as required.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2C Masa Harina
  • 1C Warm Water, more as required
  • Oil, for shallow frying
  • Toppings!

Toppings: Any combination of the following (in FODMAP friendly quantities):

  • Shredded or minced chicken/beef/pork, cooked
  • Fresh or breaded fish pieces/bites, cooked
  • Lettuce, thinly sliced
  • Red or Green Cabbage, thinly sliced or grated
  • Feta, crumbled
  • Cheddar Cheese, grated

  • Avocado, diced or sliced
  • Carrot, grated
  • Corn Kernels, charred
  • Roasted Tomato Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Sour Cream
  • Coriander
  • Hot sauce (FODMAP friendly)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Mix the masa harina and the water together in a bowl. Knead until it forms a smooth ball (you may need additional water, adding small amounts only at a time).
  2. Separate the dough into portions and roll into balls.
  3. Place a separated plastic bag onto a tortilla press, covering both sides. Add a portion of dough into the press as squash to form a pancake shape (you may need to flip the dough around to squish the other side also to make it an even thickness). If you don’t have a tortilla press, you can use an alternative heavy flat object and press down to flatten.
  4. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Fry both sides of the dough until light brown. This will take a couple of minutes each side.
  6. Once cooked and browned, remove from pan and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  7. Wait for the sopes to cool slightly, then pinch the sides up to form a small wall around the edge.
  8. Serve with toppings.

Beef Iskander

  3. Wrap up the meat tightly in the baking paper (remaining in the log shape) and place into the fridge to rest for 2 hours.
  4. Transfer into the freezer for at least 8 hours (I do this the night before so it is ready to go the following day).
  5. Remove from the freezer about 5 minutes before you are ready to cook.
  6. Carefully ‘shave’ meat from the frozen log using a sharp knife (I shave the whole log before proceeding as the cooking process is very fast).

  8. Add some of the shaved pieces in a single layer and cook both sides until browned. Cook in batches and don’t overload the pan.
  9. Once cooked, place the meat onto a paper towel to drain and excess fats while you batch cook the rest of the meat.

  11. Serve with the accompaniments.

SERVE WITH

Hummus, tzatziki, grated carrot, grated red cabbage or finely sliced lettuce, hot chips or cooked rice. Tomato sauce, yoghurt, or hot sauce (FODMAP friendly), are a great addition to drizzle over the top.
