I did it. Followed my mom’s recipe step-by-step. And managed to do it all without burning anything! 🙂
Tomorrow I will be delivering to the rest of the family. The most important judgement will be from my mother. I don’t know if I can live up to her standards, but I think I came pretty close, and I’m happy. Below, pics of the process.
A LOT OF INGREDIENTS!
A full stove. All ingredients are cooked separately.
Pumpkin puree
Lentils, red beans, corn, cabbage, squash, rice…
Fava beans
White onions and garlic sauteed in achiote (annato)
Salt cod, soaked overnight in water, and then cooked in milk. Smelly!
Sauce: onions, corn, pumpkin, peanut paste. Cheese and lupin beans added after everything has been mixed together.
Cod is fried and served as garnish.
Pumpkin fritters. Also served as garnish,
At last. All that work for a bowl of delicious fanesca. Served with pumpkin fritters, fried cod, red pepper, banana known as maqueño, and parsely. YUMMY!
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.

¡Felicitaciones, Angie! Mi fanesca también tiene su historia: tuve que armar los ingredientes y la preparación paso a paso, buscando en recetas y sobre todo en mi memoria. Mi mamá no la tenía escrita y cuando sobrevino el Alzheimer se perdió. Finalmente lo logré y ahora sí está detalladamente descrita. ¡Saludos!
