If you love lasagna, moussaka, or cottage pie, discover another delicious layered meat-and-veg dish to add to your regular rotation. Chef Walther starts with a rich base of fluffy mashed potatoes, then gently folds in aji Amarillo chile paste, giving the dish its signature sunny color and heat. Next comes a luscious layer of guacamole for richness, then all-breast-meat Chicken Salad swirled with creamy mayonnaise and studded with crisp celery. The crowning touch: briny Kalamata olives, hard-cooked egg, and a garnish of sweet roasted red pepper. Bring it all together with the accompanying Huancaina Sauce—a traditional Peruvian blend of queso fresco, onions, and aji Amarillo—and enjoy classic Peruvian comfort food at its finest.
