it's good finding chefs that do pupusas. i'm from El Salvador and pupusas is known for us. It may seem simple the easy way but with no appliances it's really difficult. kudos to someone letting everyone know about my country's pupusas. but i agree with Eugenia.... this recipe is way more simple than what we actually do.

I somewhat agree with some of the other ratings. I am Salvadorian and grew up making these with all the women in my family. Pupusas can be stuffed with pork, cheese, beans, and many other ingredients. However, some of these ingredients, such as loroco, are very difficult to find, so you have to use what's available. For instance, you can use Monterey or Mozzarella cheese instead of quesillo. Pupusas are tradionaly eaten with curtido and a mild tomato sauce (not ketchup or Mexican salsa. I think this recipe is somewhat innacurate but it's ok for beginners who have never made pupusas the tradional way. If you want to eat real pupusas made with authentic ingredients you have to travel to El Salvador. I'm sure this is the case with many other ethnic foods.

Notwithstanding what the other reviewers have noted, the dish would work at some level if only teh recipe for teh cabbage to top the pupusas was included, and either a recipe for the salsa to serve with it, or a recommendation for one.

I was dissapointed to see that this recipe for pupusas was posted on this website. I would have thought that a little research would have been done before posting it. I am salvadorian and was taught to make pupusas by my mother and grandmother. This recipe does not come close to how they are really made. I can only imagine what kind of mistakes are made for recipes from other cultures. Next time do a little research on what is going to be broadcast to the network
