from Chef John over at foodwishes.blogspot.com, purportedly a rendition of his favorite Salvadorian dish from Aunt Mary’s restaurant in San Fran. DH just keeps getting better and better at making this, but I got curious enough about the nutrition facts to keep it here on zaar. Beware: even with cream in the title, this is no soup for sissies. Those chile oils swirling atop your stewpot are lovely, but deceptively spicy. Skim them if you like, but it’ll still be muy picante!
Curtido is a kind of El Salvadorian cabbage slaw that is served with pupusas. Traditionally the cabbage and carrot are boiled down and pickled with vinegar and salt, but there are many variations of curtido these days. I like to make my version fresh and crunchy, as many modern variations of this dish are.
