Curtido
Curtido is a type of lightly fermented relish. It is typical in Salvadoran cuisine and that of other Central American countries. In El Salvador it is usually made with cabbage, onions, carrots, oregano, and sometimes lime juice; it resembles sauerkraut, kimchi, pikliz or tart coleslaw. It is commonly served alongside pupusas, a national specialty.
