Pupusas
Pupusas are El Salvador's proud culinary symbol, sold from street stalls and family-run pupuserías across the country, each cook guarding their own preferred filling combinations.
El Salvador's national dish — thick corn masa cakes stuffed with cheese, beans or pork, griddled until golden and served with tangy pickled cabbage slaw.
Ingredients
Method
Mix masa harina with warm water to form a soft, pliable dough.
Flatten a ball of dough, fill with cheese and beans, then seal and reshape into a thick disc.
Cook on a hot dry griddle for 3-4 minutes per side until golden with light char spots.
Serve hot topped with curtido (vinegar-pickled cabbage slaw).
Keep your hands lightly wet with water while shaping — it stops the masa from cracking or sticking.
