LOMO AL TRAPO: THE SPECIALTY OF THE HOUSE
One of our favorite dishes at La Vicenta is the house specialty; the Lomo al Trapo. We wish with all our strength that the quarantine is over so we can go to La Vicenta and enjoy this exquisite cut of meat.
Because when we get a craving, it doesn’t go away until we fulfill our whim and satisfy our palate. And who can resist this flavor?
The preparation of the Lomo al Trapo consists of wrapping a cut of beef tenderloin in a linen cloth with salt and spices (secret, seasoning and love of the house) with the intention of retaining the juice of the meat inside to maximize its flavor, then it is moistened and cooked over an open fire. Quite an art!
But, do you know where this delicious cut of meat originates from?
This dish is typical of Bogota Colombia and its surroundings since the weather conditions are considered as cold compared to other regions and the use of fireplaces allowed the popularization of this dish since its objective was to preserve the juices of the meat inside in order to enjoy its flavors to the fullest.
Now if you were not craving a Lomo al Trapo, we have awakened your craving, because no one can resist wanting to try the taste of our house specialty, so your next favorite main dish at La Vicenta will undoubtedly be ours: Lomo al Trapo.
