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.

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!

¡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!
