A Peruvian Pop-up to Cure a Broken Heart
A dinner served with -- the prescribed -- ice cold beer. Guests are welcome to BYOB additional wine and beer.
According to the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, there exists a Peruvian recipe to cure a broken heart. And Nico Vera wants to share it with all of you!
This very special menu is taken from the novel Lituma en los Andes:
"Tamales, Anticuchos, Chicharrones con Camote, Ceviche de Corvina, Rocotos Rellenos, Conchitas a la Parmesana, Causa Limeña, and an ice cold beer.
That is just the beginning. Next is Aji de Gallina with white rice and Seco de Cabrito. And to finish the afternoon, Mazamorra Morada and Turron de Doña Pepa. By the time you are eating the Seco, you will have forgotten about her forever."
