Pupusa Cooking Class


For Christmas I bought Darrell a Groupon for two for any cooking class at Dish It Up!, a wonderful kitchen shop in Ballard.  He chose to go to the Pupusa class, and took me with him (he didn't really have any other choice in who he took that would have been the correct option!). 


The class was last night, and we really had fun, and the food was delicious!  It was 'hands on', so we all were able to participate in making  4 different kinds of pupusas as well as some sauces and condiments to put on them. 


The chef was Jason Vickers (right), a delightful and personable man, who loves his job!  He passes that enthusiasm on to his students, as well.  He chatted, answered all kinds of cooking questions and made the evening as great as it was!


Pupusas are made with masa (corn flour).  Different fillings can be used to 'stuff' them with, then they are either pan fried or deep fried.  We had 4 fillings: Salvadoran Pulled Pork Pupusas with Pickled Cabbage, Pupusas De Queso, Vegetable Pupusas and Apple Pupusas.

 They were absolutely wonderful, and I would do another class anytime!  Highly recommend them!
