More Fun Peruvian Food




After Spanish class we have cultural events once a week. During a past week we learned how to make Papa a la Huancaina. This yellow sauce is made from hot yellow peppers (ahi), onion, olive oil, milk, soft cheese and some crackers. The ingredients are blended until smooth and then poured over cold, sliced boiled potatoes. The garnish is olives and cilantro or parsley. It is a good summer time dish.

The other dish pictured above is Rocoto Relleno, a stuffed hot red pepper.It sits on a cheesey potatoe mixture. This one is one of my favorites! I am sure you can find the recipe on the web; the rocoto peppers, though, are particular to Peru.
