La cocina de la Señora Ana Garcia, Mami's Kitchen, is full of the same fragrances and flavors she remembers as a child in her grandmother' kitchen back in El Salvador: the melted cheese scent of fried pupusas; the tangy smell of cortido, a pickled mixture of shredded cabbage and carrots with sliced jalapeños; and the spicy taste of salsa roja - both toppings for traditional pupusas.
Pupusas, the national dish of El Salvador, are a type of flatbread made with masa, a cornmeal dough, and stuffed with refried beans, pulled port and cheese, loroco - the edible flower buds from a vine native to El Salvador, or other traditional mixtures of meats, cheese, and vegetables.
