Today I am sharing my recipe of Causa Escabechada
“Causa” is a potato salad that is served mainly as an entree however I decided to combine it with Escabeche to make it a main dish, the combination of flavors and textures just makes it a great dish, full of flavors and beautiful colors.Â
For the ones that never heard of “Causa Rellena”, it is a potato salad, consist of two layers of potato dough (sour-spicy) with some sort of veggie+meat stuffing in the middle, kind of a terrine.
For the Escabeche, we will be making a fish + shrimp Escabeche, I love the different textures on dishes and this one has a lot that you will enjoy Â
Here are some tips to make this dish the right way:
- – Microwave or bake the potatoes in that way you remove the risk of ending with a soggy doughÂ
- – There different brands of Ajà Amarillo paste (if you can’t make it fresh) “Sibarita” has one that is not spicy at all.
- – Use fish or seafood stock to make the Escabeche even better
- Â
 Most cooks don’t have a favorite dish, since they are constantly looking for better flavors, however, I have to say that my favorite dish is Causa, there is something about the dough that reminds me of home.Â

Both dishes share similar ingredients and complement each other pretty well
Making the Ajà Amarillo paste is one of my favorite parts, however, if you can’t get Ajà Amarillo frozen/fresh get some pre-made Ajà Amarillo paste, be aware that most brands make it super spicy.
The colors, and flavors of the Causa dough it is just amazing!
To make the Escabeche, use any fresh fish you have on hand, you can check our recipe for Escabeche (here)
Causa Escabechada, two great dishes combined, turned into something that is just delicious, give it a try, you won’t regret it!
