Pupusas with Curtido!!

Pupusas....strange name? maybe. Delicious? YES! Pupusas are a traditional Salvadoran dish. They are homeade tortillas usually stuffed with a meat, bean, or cheese combo. They are also usually served with curtido with is a spicey/vinegar based slaw(no mayo!). For my pupusas I started with a boneless pork roast,(cut into large chunks) sprinkled it with adobo seasoning & seared it in a little oil. Then to the pan I added some chopped onion. orange bell pepper, green bell pepper, & fresh garlic. Once a little browned I added some beer, a little more adobo seasoning, & put the lid on it & let it simmer all day.
   While that simmered I made my curtido. Into a bowl I dumped a bag of shredded cabbage, a bag of shredded carrots, some chopped scallions, oregano, salt, pepper, & white vinegar...thats it! I then covered it & out it in the fridge to marinate.
  Now, back to the pupusas... I drained the pork/pepper mixture, put it into the food processor, & added a little queso blanco(tastes like mozzarella), & sharp cheddar. I pulsed it until it looked like baby food. Then it was time to make the tortillas which are made of just corn flour,salt, & water(follow the directions on the flour bag). Grab small handful of dough at a time & roll it into a ball. Then, press your thumbs into the ball of dough & spoon some of the pork mixture into & mold the dough back over the mixture & then flaten. I then heated the pupusa in a little oil in a skillet. brown  on both sides & serve with curtido on top! Let me just say....YUM!!!! Very simple dish...very delicious dish!!
