Sunday Lunch : ALIMANGO con BAYABAS

otherwise known as "Crabs in Guava Sauce",
this is an old, old family recipe invented by my grandmother
way back before World War II.

simply puree guava pulp,
sautee in lots of onions,
add some sugar to taste,
and pour the whole mess over fatty crabs,
and cook on low heat until done.



you get a rich dark sauce that coats the slight oceanic saltiness of the crabs
with a blanket of light sweetness, highlighted by the guava's exotic flavor.




perfect with hot steaming rice.

it's a massive mess to eat,
but it's worth it.

Intensely Scrumptious.
Positively Sinful!!!
