Causa With Shrimp and Avocado
Madhur Jaffrey · NYT Cooking
A causa is layered potato terrine that is popular in Peru. For this recipe, avocado and shrimp salads are stacked on a base of spicy mashed potatoes. Each layer is simple to make and, together, they add up to an impressive appetizer. You'll need a ring mold about 3 ¼ inches in diameter and about 2 inches in height to shape the causa. Many Peruvians improvise with clean cans of similar dimensions, removing both ends first. Use a soup or bean can, which tend to be a little less than 3 inches in diameter.

Uchucuta Sauce (Andean Green Herb and Chile Sauce)
Madhur Jaffrey · NYT Cooking
Uchucuta means ground chiles in the Quechua language. The main ingredients in a traditional sour and spicy sauce include the hard-to-find Peruvian huacatay and other wild herbs. I have improvised without them, using mint, cilantro, oregano, tarragon and parsley. If you can ever find huacatay, add a handful to the other herbs as today’s Peruvians do. This delicious sauce may be spooned over eggs, grilled or roasted meats, and even grilled vegetables. I even love it on boiled potatoes. It lasts well in the refrigerator for 3 days. Extra sauce may be frozen for a month.
