El Salvador food is all about soups with lots of vegetables, meats stews with vegetables and herbs, fruits drinks, seafood, desserts like mango in almibar... These ingredients are easily available at most major supermarkets and local Latin markets. Just the basics are needed to create these yummy dishes, a teaspoon, tablespoon, a standard 8- ounce cup or a measuring cup, and some basic pots and pans.
Alicia shares the secrets to authentic Salvadoran food. From iconic dishes like pupusas, quesadilla, Christmas turkey and torrejas, to everyday dishes like meat stew, chicken soup, shrimps with garlic, rice, refried beans, pork chops with onions, green beans and eggs, summer squash in a cream sauce, vanilla custard... your family and friends will love these dishes. If your mother in-law is Salvadoran, Alicia says, you can impress her with the sopa de pata, she is going to love you forever!
