Simply Mama, I don't normally comment because I watch several channels and some of the comments are down right abusive! But i wanted to say I really love your channel, I learn a lot, and I congradulate you on your flexibility.

Thank you so much! 😊🙏

[@Razo20]

@ can i add lime in it

[@wed3k]

This reminds me of why I like kimchi so much, pickled cabbage is my favorite

[@TheBlueBeatle3]

Oh my God! You did it the RIGHT way!!! Thank you for making it traditionally Salvadoran! Thank you! I feel respected. Just thank you for this. Thank you

[@j.ramirez3992]

This looks so good 👍🏼 My MIL is from El Salvador she uses the same mix of veggies but for a quick fix she will just use a jalapeño can and pour the juice that’s in that in the mix. It’s so good and spicy. Some times she will just buy a bag of coleslaw and a jalapeño can and it’s just the same.

[@ceasedesist703]

J. Ramirez will definitely try this! 😍

[@Its.savedie]

Miammmmmmmmm jalapenos i will try

[@rebeccagamez2391]

I tired this and other curtido recipes,by far this is our favorite!!! I love the simplicity in your videos. Thank you and God bless you gift!😊

[@iluminameluna]

In my house, I learned to put the cabbage and veggies to soften with hot water (soak for 10 mins or so), or with salt (half a cup for a large half of a cabbage head, let stand for half an hr, then rinse) to speed up the pickling. Then add the vinegar and water mixture as shown. Don't add salt if you did the salt maceration though. I store mine in quart mason jars and add peppers to some, extra onions to another. Choice is the spice of life! 😄 They're best if eaten within a month.

[@Dommommy]

That's a good idea!

[@kuroxo1509]

thats similar to her 1st curtido recipe.. this video is her 2nd:)

[@henrysmith180]

I never understood why they would soak in hot water. Wouldn't the acid soften the veggies?

[@jessehernandez3837]

Thank you. This was my first time making it and it came out delicious the whole family loved it so I’m going to save your recipe.

[@DianeH2038]

just made this today (with a few added thinly sliced chiles) to eat tomorrow, and it already tastes amazing! thank you!!!

[@alandgomez5905]

Yessir! At some point I'll make this. I've gotten my girl on board with pupusas (because duh) but not so much with curtido lol. Sup to all my Salvadorans and Latinos out there! And sup to anybody else who's reading this, be it Black, Asian, Middle Eastern, White, Islander etc. Be cool and stay safe 👍🏽.

[@tempeman101]

Great recipe - Thanks. I really love Curtido. I bought some Curtido at Costco last year out of curiosity and it also had ginger and apples from what I remember. It was rather good. I now make this myself at home and experiment from time to time. 🙂

[@rneustel388]

This is exactly how my mama always makes her slaw that not mayo-based, except she uses celery seed for the spice. I’m going to try this next time I make this kind of slaw.

[@bandislife2004]

Nice! This looks like you could use it on lots of things!! Thank you 😊

[@i_am_king_bobbykingb9293]

I NEVER have enough curtido, when I order pupusas...This recipe looks so simple! I'll definitely be trying...❤

[@yourer]

Thank you! I made this. Super easy and delicious. It was best for me on the second day. So I need to make this at least 2 days before I need it lol. 😊

[@HeySarahGurl]

I’m dating a real swell guy who’s half Salvadorian and he loves papusas! I’m making this and pickling it for the next day for when I make the papusas. He’s vegetarian so I’m making my own mushroom based papusas so I’m excited for him to try it! It’ll be the fifth time I’ve cooked for him and so far he’s loved everything! Fingers crossed! This was such an easy to follow video and I’ll definitely be subscribing!

[@cheyennereddix9361]

how did the vegetarian pupusa go? any tips? i usually only can find the loroco queso ones but i want to cut back on eating cheese.

Thank you so simple, it looks perfecto.

[@darby5987]

Tip: Mama's recipe calls for Mexican Oregano (aka Oregano Cimarron - wild oregano). Mexican Oregano (Lippia graveolens) is not related to European oregano (Origanum vulgare). They have a similar taste but Mexican Oregano is stronger. If you use European oregano it will start tasting like a Mediterranean dish because the flavor is similar, not the same.

[@JL-iu7fk]

Combine, 1 pound or 1 &1/2 shredded cabbage, thinly sliced small or 1/2 medium red onion, 2 medium shredded carrots, 2 teaspoons of oregano. Boil 2 cups of water w/ teaspoon salt add 1/3 cup preferably white or apple cider vinegar when it gets to rolling boil, remove from heat. Pour that solution over the cabbage mixture. Preferably into a glass bowl and cover it. Leave on counter covered for atleast 6 hours or preferably day before.

Great job dear 💖💖💖💖👌🙌✌👈👍

[@ginnyr8711]

Wow, that looked so delicious. What other fiod do you pair it with if u don't have pupusas.

I've always wanted to know how to make this, I love this stuff. I might add fresh garlic to my version and let sit at room temp for 24 hrs before refigerating

Get a fermentation crock & ferment for 10-15 days!

I bet it's Great on a fish Taco. 😋👌

It is! I make curtido and use it for tacos and tostadas. 😊

[@rosiejimenez8832]

Thank you can’t wait to try. I was wondering if this slaw would pair nicely with fish tacos?

Yes it would. I use curtido on all types of tacos. 😊

[@martyrose]

It's her salsa. She posted a pupusas video at the same time she posted this one. It's there.

[@Tryin2Bnice45]

I do a lot of ferments. I was surprised you didn’t add peppers. This has given me great ideas but how long does it last in the fridge?

[@Lettyc90]

I just made some with red wine vinegar

[@monicaacevedo7026]

[@michellebaldonado2959]

Hi mija I have been watching you for quite some time now . I love the dishes and ideas you put on this channel! Tried and loved the rice and ice chest idea for my nieces graduation party and it was a hit!😁 1 question I have for this recipe can you add serano ,green chile or jalapeño to this recipe? Luv ya keep being great❤️😘

[@iluminameluna]

You can add all sorts of veggies to this, just make sure they're either thinly sliced or in small pieces. My 2 brothers like curtido with sliced jalapenos and thin slices of carrots, instead of having them shredded.

[@michellebaldonado2959]

iluminameluna thank you 🙏 so much !! I am definitely try this with jalapeños😊

[@h2t26]

Can you switch vinegar and water for lime juice? Also how long is it good for once you put it in the fridge? I was wondering how the Salvadorian restaurant did there's, I hadn't thought of Oregano so that answers that. Thank you!

[@amexem612]

Thanks im using all ingredients but adding tumeric for color abd a litte sugar. Thanks sweetheart

[@laurablake8330]

Question: do you refrigerate after 24 hours or just always leave it on the counter? Thanks! 🙏🏻

Is this similar to the pickled cabbage mixture you get with some Mexican restaurants? I love that stuff and have always wanted to learn how to make it. Most of the time there is also jalapeños though.

[@iluminameluna]

They're probably serving this curtido at those restaurants. You can add any kind of hot pepper to this.

Can I use red cabbage?

Can this be eaten as a salad? I am not familiar with pupusas. But wonder if this can be served as a side dish with a steak or some other baked meat.

What is that red sauce you put on at the end

[@lauramolen9453]

Have been looking for a curtido recipe. Will it make much difference if I use regular oregano instead of Mexican oregano?

The flavor won't be quite the same.

Yes it will taste the same...the only difference is that Mexican oregano has a stronger taste.
