The proliferation of Dory fillet can enable more people to make this dish.

Speaking of a lo pobre, traveling on a shoestring through Spain toward the end of the Franco regime, we invariably ended up in lodgings that offered just beans and bread for supper and bread pudding for dessert. Both were tasty and functional while we were young and carefree but it once and for all cemented in my mind bread pudding with poverty.

Will be looking for this (or a version) on my upcoming trek to Madrid / Barcelona/ Lisbon (and side trips to Fez-Casabanca-Marrakesh) come march

So when you transfer the fish from the pan to the sizzling plate, it was half cooked and you let it finish cooking in the sizzling plate,did I get it right? nice tip to prevent overcooking. :) tnx!

With the exuberant prices of fish here in OZ you have to be earning an uber-income to even step in the door of the fish market to view the fish on display and if you’ve won the lottery they will even let you purchase some. :)

Hmm. No acidity. I wonder if a fresh water fish like tilapia would equally turn nice as well. Very interesting indeed.

D, thanks for that, now it really is beginning to sound oxymoronic, steak and poor… hmmm… :) But kudos to Albas for a treatment that has gone countrywide… in the same manner “sisig” now means finely chopped and sizzled… as in bangus sisig, tofu sisig, etc.

Hi MM! Thanks for the info on the etymology of ala pobre! FYI, the steak ala pobre in Alba’s doesnt seem to have potatoes on the side.

Nice and easy to make recipe. Will definitely try this soon!
