Even
though I have already made a Salvadorian dish, I was in the mood for another
traditional dish. Having been to El Salvador a few times, and having a mom who
cooks similar foods has allowed me to fall in love with Salvadorian food. Being
away from home cooking was a change, and so this week I started to crave a
pastry, specifically a pineapple delight.
This dish is a traditional
one for my family. It is a pastry that my mom makes… whenever she’s in the mood.
It takes quite some time and effort to make; this is why she doesn’t do it
often. On that note I decided I would try to recreate such a delicious traditional
dish. One of the pictures is the actual dish and the other some of the
ingredients. I had to go home and make this because some of the ingredients I couldn’t
find around here. My mom got a good
laugh out of watching me make the dish because I told her she couldn’t help me.
This pastry is made out of pineapple and it has soup like look to it, it looks
strange but it is delicious and sweet. I had to peel, cut, blend, fresh pineapple
to be able to make the dish. This dish, surprisingly, also includes rice which
is also blended therefore making the taste almost non-existing. My mom gave me
a quick rundown before I made it so I wouldn’t be a complete train wreck but
halfway through I just couldn’t remember what the next step was. I ended up
begging my mom for help because I didn’t know what was next. In the end the atoll turned out alright, not as good as
my mom’s but pretty tasty.
