Embark on a culinary journey to El Salvador with our traditional Salvadorian patties, a delectable treat that embodies the country's vibrant flavors. These patties, also known as pupusas, are thick griddle cakes made from cornmeal or rice flour, stuffed with a savory filling of your choice, be it refried beans, squash, or cheese. Their crispy exterior yields to a soft and fluffy interior, making them an irresistible snack or main course. Accompanying the pupusas is a zesty tomato sauce, adding a tangy kick to each bite. And to complete the Salvadorian experience, we offer a refreshing coleslaw, providing a crunchy and light contrast to the richness of the patties. Our recipes encompass both traditional and innovative approaches, ensuring a diverse range of flavors to tantalize your taste buds.
