I think Americas Test Kitchen is one of the few sources of recipes that does international cuisine justice. There were a few alterations made to the pupusa & curtido recipes I grew up with, but they were changes that made sense given the context and didn’t feel disingenuous or ignorant. My wife has made similar remarks when they’re showing recipes for dishes she grew up with (she’s from an Iranian household)

Thank you for showing your audience an easy way to make pupusas. Just a few things: 1) you can also use Oaxacan enredo cheese and even mozzarella. 2) Next time try using lard instead of vegetable oil. The masa tastes so much better. 3) You can also use a tiny bit of oil in your hands, instead of water, when you’re making the pupusas. That helps them at the moment of cooking on the comal, griddle, or pan. 4) We don’t add sugar or cilantro to our curtido, which is not fermented but pickled. We add other vegetables like big pieces of carrots or onions or cucumber rounds, besides the shredded cabbage, sliced onions and shredded carrots. Some people love to eat those big pickled pieces (I’m one). Finally, next time be a little adventurous and try making a pupusa revuelta: it’s a pupusa filled with cheese, refried red beans and chicharrón (fried and ground pork shoulder or neck, usually). The pupusa revuelta is as popular as the pupusa de queso. Once again, thank you for showcasing our national dish and a staple of the rich Salvadoran cuisine.

Overall nice representation of what a pupusa is!! My mom pretty much does the same thing but there are some differences with the ingredients. My mom uses a griddle to make the not in a skilllet. So you can make them with cheese and refried beans. Also revueltas(mixxed) are made with cheese refried beans and chicharrones. A lot of Salvadorans in the US use Oaxacan cheese or low moisture mozzarella. But I do like the cheese combo they used here. The curtido doesn't have sugar and definitely not cilantro. It also helps to make it the day before. It can also be made with red onion and red cabbage.

This is actually a pretty good and simplified recipe for gringos such as myself. I’ve tried to make this before with more authentic recipes and El Salvadoran grandmas telling me how to do it. But it was always a mess and texture flavor was unlike theirs. This recipe is not like those authentic ones, but it’s pretty darn close and it’s simple! I’ve had success with this recipe, I made it twice, using beans instead, but using that method he used with the cheese. Very good recipe! Also it’s simple enough that it doesn’t seem like such an impossible task. I always loved pupusas when I was a kid! I use to prefer these over McDonalds. It was so yummy! I enjoy making them using this recipe. Best

I grew up watching Mrs. Elsa making pupusas, she had 5 large containers with cheese, beans, pork rinds, loroco and of course the (white) dough, all these ingredients had the same texture, super super soft. (Note: the dough to make tortillas has less water.) Nobody taught me how to make pupusas, I only remembered Doña Elsa. I knead the dough in less than 5 minutes with tap water, it should be just a little warm so that I can touch to be able to knead the dough, I add water to the bowl first and then the flour and I start to move my hand in circles without squeeze, if you need more water I just add more, until it's super soft, to take the dough I put oil on my hands and the most beautiful thing about a pupusa is that the cheese starts to spill out on the sides, with chicarrón, etc. OMG! I have discovered that with chicken cracklings they are much tastier!

if you want to get closer to the original besides the things he already mentioned on the video, really good pupusas try to push the limit with how much filling the masa can hold (cheese coming out of the pupusas and becoming crispy on top is sometimes salvadoreans favorite part so they dont have to look as perfect as they do in the video). The tomato sauce is typically way more liquid than chunky + I have never seen cilantro in curtido but if you like it as its on the video go ahead haha dont want to go full italian food critic. If you can get quesillo really go out of your way as its the star of the dish. If you feel adventurous, my favorite version of the dish is la revueltas that have pork and beans with the cheese and taste amazing.

The history of food and how it's made is so much richer when the actual culture can be represented and can use their own voices to teach us about their food. Too often, there's a gentrification in the culinary world where mostly white people are the ones teaching and profiting off the backs of other ethnicities' foods. I love ATK for its thorough testing and improved techniques, but when you're just introducing recipes just for the sake of providing content, please include the cultures, who lack these types of platforms, to showcase their cuisines.

They need to head to a pupuseria ran by someone from El Salvador. The curtido is left on the counter not put in the refrigerator and does not have cilantro/coriander. The sign of a good pupusa is being thin and using oil to help handle the masa to help it brown. I’m sure they tried to make it easy but easy doesn’t always mean good. I learned from a good friend from El Salvador and she would cringe if she saw this video. I’m going to try this but I don’t expect good results.

Even though people have been leaving nothing but good comments, I for one am El Salvadorean, and this is the most whitest way to make pupusas. I agree with you, and I too was cringing. Especially when they were eating it with forks and knives. Every Salvadorean knows you eat pupusas with your hands. Not to mention it was an insult include pre Columbian times and Honduras, and that pupusas are a staple of latin American cuisine. It’s just a El Salvadorean typical dish. Also I cried seeing them put cilantro in the curtido, it’s not Mexican for crying out loud, and also the tomato sauce wasn’t tomato sauce, it was salsa/pico de gallo. Smh…😩😩😩😩

Those are considered the olocuilta style - named after the city they come from. They are very good when done properly.

Pupusas are delicious. I add some cooked sausage in with the cheese. I like the curtido on pulled pork sandwiches too.

Used this recipe, they turned out pretty good! I did have trouble keeping my dough hydrated (also doubled the recipe so I’m sure that was related) definitely want to make sure you dont over press them as well. I’ll blame the recipe for too much cheese as well to make myself feel better but most of my pupusas popped open before they were fully crispy so despite not using oil, the cheese coming out kinda made them fried instead of toasty 🤷‍♂️. The curtido is definitely a must, really makes the dish. I also made my own chipotle salsa vs the salsa roja they suggested but that was a great addition as well to get even more acid on the toasty cheesy. I’ll definitely be making these again!

Will be saving this video to my library. My one and only attempt was a bean/cheese mixture and they were twice the size of the 4" ones! LOL...did I miss something with what they did with the vinegar mixture? Was it mixed up with the cabbage? Thanks ATK for the detailed (mostly) of how to make these great Pupusas and their condiments!

Wonderful fun seeing this made. Of course, only the corn, chile, and tomato were pre-Columbian. Cheese, cabbage, carrots, onion, and cilantro were all introduced by Europeans. But still fun to see how to make such an iconic food item. Love all your videos/recipes.
