Butifarras

Butifarras are a popular Peruvian sandwich consisting of country ham and salsa criolla on ciabatta bread. The sandwich was created by Italian immigrants who smoked their own artisan hams, hence the birth of jamon del pais.
This is one of the finest sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. It is worth all the steps in preparation to consume this Peruvian monstrosity.
