I like a lot of different kinds of food, but I think pupusas are my favorite. They are the national food of El Salvador. I first tried them on my mission. When I came home I didn't even try to make them, because I had only ever eaten them, and I had never seen how they were made. We never lived in an area that had a pupuseria, so I couldn't even buy them! Then I found a recipe on the internet, and I decided to try it. The results were so-so, but closer than anything I could have come up with on my own. Finally, we moved to Minnesota and I convinced a sister, Maria Aguilera, in our ward to teach me how to make them. It made a huge difference! The final, and best teacher, was my friend Patricia. She helped me refine things and made them with me. I also watched a few youtube videos and that helped as well. It is wonderful to know that whenever I get a hankering for them, I can make them myself. I'm pretty proud of the fact that for a huera, I make a decent pupusa, and the yummy curtido that goes with it!
Below is a picture of Brent, Patricia and Milton after all the pupusas are cooked, the dishes are done, and the extras are wrapped up to go.
