Shambar

Shambar is a traditional soup originating from the region of Trujillo. It is made with various types of beans, wheat, chickpeas, peas, and at least three different types of meat such as smoked pork, ham, pork skin, pork ears, beef, and chicken. It is typically seasoned with cumin, garlic, and hierba buena. The end result is a thick and nourishing soup filled with nutrients. Shambar is traditionally consumed only on Mondays in order to prepare the working people for the upcoming week.
