Seco de Pollo for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Seco de Pollo for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The fresh and citrusy profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced tomate de árbol tree tomato used that way before.

llapingachos potato cakes are a highland staple tied to Andean agricultural tradition. I explained the an indigenous market food stall in the Andes context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. chicha de jora was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
