Another Pambazo

[cowgirl]

This one was a shrimp and crab pambazo. I think this was my favorite.

They are traditionally made with beans, tatoes and chorizo. Last one I made with shredded beef shanks.

made some guajillo pepper sauce.

cleaned the dried chiles, brought the chiles to a simmer and let them set til pliable.

blended with onion, garlic, chicken bouillon, salt, mexican oregano, fresh water. The steeping water can get bitter so I use fresh sometimes.

strained the sauce to get rid of any remaining bitter bits.

went with crab meat and shrimp...

prepped the meat and coated the shrimp in some of the guajillo sauce.

gave the bolillos a good coating of sauce

and fried til crisp..

next the shrimp..

Started the build with Salvadorian cream...

lettuce, scallions and a bit of cotija cheese..

shrimp..

more cheese...

crab...

lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro..

more cream...

Supper was ready.

I smooshed it down and cut it in half.

I really liked this one. The slight crispiness of the bread and flavor of the sauce add a lot. :-D

Thanks for lookin'!

Seems like a lot of work for a sammich.


And i thought my Donor Kebab sammich was a lot of work.

Some things are worth it.

Your pantry of ingredients never ceases to amazing me. Salvadorian cream? I wouldn't even know what store to find that at! :laugh:

Looks great, there are a lot of other stuff in life that might not be worth the effort but good food always is imo, thanks for sharing another great meal.

I’m speechless but hungry as all get out… brilliant!!!

I've never had (or heard of) one of these, but I'm all in.

Seen any good deer yet? We've got a few nice ones on camera. Hoping to get a nice first-bow buck for my grandson. Good luck to y'all out west.

Seems like a lot of work for a sammich.

It was over 2300 years ago that Aristotle said "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"

While little is known about that period of his life, I'm pretty sure he was talking about a sandwich.

That is another awesome and unique cook in the books. You worried me in the beginning when you said these are traditionally made with beans. Now you are going to start a whole new debate: Pambazo- beans or no beans :laugh:

Fabulous cook as always Ms. Jeanie, now I might have to change my lunch plans...

I've tried Mexican crema in the past and didn't really care for it. But a Google search showed that even Mexicans preferred the Salvadoran crema as it's more sour. Sounds like the Cacique brand is a favorite among many. My local Mexi-Mart has five different brands. What brand of Salvadoran crema do you prefer?

Good Lord Jeanie. That looks Killer :hungry::hungry::hungry:

I guess i'll take your word for it.

Sometimes the journey is a rewarding as the destination.
