Curtido by Chef Smith

Curtido is a simple cabbage salad traditionally served with pupusas. Large jars of curtido are kept at restaurants and sides of the slaw are served with most meals. Curtido is usually allowed to ferment slightly at room temperature before serving, becoming a kind of Salvadoran sauerkraut.

This is the essential accompaniment to papusas. Even if you buy papusas, which you can at Whole Foods in the Bay Area, make this from scratch - it's terrific.
