Peruvian Causa
Peruvian Causa
Have you ever had Peruvian causa? It’s one my favorite Peruvian dishes. A causa is a traditional layered dish made of yellow mashed potatoes. It’s so versatile as you can layer it with crab, tuna or chicken. I was thrilled to find the elusive yellow potato at a local Colombian market in West Palm, Florida. It is a labor of love but so worth it.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo yellow Peruvian potatoes or Yukon
- 1 can tuna fish
- 6 lemons
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion chopped brunoise style
- 2 avocados
- 1/2 cup mayo
- salt & pepper to taste
Notes
1. Boil potatoes until soft. Drain the potatoes, then pass them through a ricer. Cool the mashed potatoes to room temperature. Mix with salt, pepper, Aji Amarillo paste (traditional Peruvian chili paste medium heat), lemon juice and olive oil.
2. In a bowl mix together onions, tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
3. Place potato mixture in a round cookie cutter and layer in the avocado, tuna and top off with potato mixture.
4. Add ceviche on top with finely sliced red onions
