The Pupusa series, Episode 4: Los Frijoles Salvadoreños
One of the typical fillings for pupusas is refried Salvadoran beans. The refried beans are mixed with cheese and chicharrón and it's knows as a "pupusa revuelta." To make the Salvadoran refried beans it requires a two step process. The first is to make bean soup and then you use the beans to refry them and use for the pupusas.
The Pupusa series, episode 2: La Salsa de tomate (Tomato Sauce for Pupusas)
In a Salvadoran kitchen you will always find tomatoes, bell peppers, onion and garlic. Those are a staple in the Salvadoran cuisine, so it's no wonder that those are the main ingredients in the salsa eaten with pupusas. There are some people that don't need salsa to eat a pups but I on the other hand have a hard time eating a pupusa without curtido and salsa de tomate.
The pupusa series, episode 6: La Masa (Dough)
I must confess this has been the hardest part of making pupusas for me. The first few times I tried to make pupusas the dough part was a bit tough and my mom told me it was because my dough was not soft enough and it needed water. I tried many times after that but they same thing would happen even if I added more water. I still haven't mastered it but it's definitely much better so here we go!
