Summary: <br> At Huaca Pucllana restaurant, Chef Marilú Madueño <br> reinterprets traditional Peruvian dishes with haute cuisine style. Chef Madueño <br> prepares causa, a signature Peruvian potato dish that invites a chef’s <br> creativity. Legend has it that causa originated during Peru’s battle for <br> independence from Spain, when the wives of Peru’s soldiers would make and sell <br> the dish to earn money for the cause. Think of it as an elaborate layered potato <br> salad, made with finely minced potatoes. The mise en place is simple: starchy <br> yellow potatoes; fragrant peppers, such as the aji amarillo; lime juice; and <br> olive oil; and sometimes cilantro. <br> <br> For recipes, visit <a href="http://www.ciaprochef.com/WCA">www.ciaprochef.com/WCA</a> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://cia.podbean.com/mf/web/jby3wx/Peru05Causa_YT.mov">Download Podcast Video</a><br>
