Curtido

Curtido is a flavorful relish from El Salvador, consisting of fermented cabbage. It is sometimes affectionately called El Salvadorean sauerkraut due to the similarities between the two dishes. Curtido is often used as an accompaniment to the famous pupusas sandwiches, as well as being a welcome addition to savory pancakes and quesadillas.

Apart from cabbage, curtido can also contain carrots, garlic, or red pepper flakes, giving it a more complex range of flavors.
