Peruvian Potato & Chicken Salad (Causa) - Food Wishes

[lynnewolfe]

I lived in Lima for many years, and causa was one of my favorites. It is truly refreshing and delicious! And this recipe is perfect! One small bit of advice: the jarred aji amarillo goes bad fairly quickly after the jar is opened. Because I live in Canada, and find it hard to get, I freeze it into cubes and that way, it lasts forever.

Peruvian food is very unrated and it’s delicious. In my old job, I had many Peruvian coworkers and I always looked forward to the holiday season when we had a celebration with many yummy Peruvian foods. This brought back many good memories! Thanks for sharing Chef John!

Chef John teasing the "you are, after all, the ____ of your then leaving it till the very end... love it!

I visited Peru this last spring break and ate plenty of Causas. Yours looks amazing Chef John. Peru is a hidden jewel in South America. It is a foodie refuge. The cuisine down there is spectacular.

Perfect timing! I was at work today when the Chef said he wanted to make the most awesome chicken salad ever, and this video popped right up onto my phone immediately afterwards. No kidding.

I love that stuff, my friend / roommate is Peruvian and because of him I've got to experience this magical dish

You can’t even imagine the gasp that I uttered when I saw the title, THE GASSSP! Yes, Peruvian cuisine is the bomb! It’s not everyday you see someone uploading Peruvian recipes. Yay!

My Peruvian sister-in-law makes this with salmon. It’s amazing

Causa is delicious and this looks like a spot-on recipe. My wife is Peruvian and she's made this for me numerous times. I'm going to make this for her and see what her reaction is. Aji and lime are the key ingredients to many Peruvian dishes. Peruvian food is unique and delicious. Heading down to Peru in two weeks to experience some more great cuisine. Thanks for posting this!

This was my favorite dish from when I visited Peru! The Causa at Marcelo Batatta in Cusco is beyond compare!

[conniechavez]

This made me emotional. As a Peruvian watching one of my favorite dishes become mainstream and created by my favorite YouTube chef. <chef’s kiss> Thank you! PS try with kalamata olives as garnish. We love Alphonso but just the same

GREAT. Yes, we Peruvians love our causa. At the beginning I used the aji paste but found that it was a bit hot in a dish that is not supposed to be hot at all. Now I used aji pepper from the frozen section that comes in pieces without the center. You can even blanche it a couple of times with milk to take most of the heat out. Peruvian food is based on the flavors of the Peruvian chili peppers.

Causa is fantastic!!! Lomo saltado, aji de gallina, etc. I live in Chile, but adore peruvian cuisine, it is fantastic.👏👏👏❤️👍🌷. I also make causa with shrimp, instead of chicken, and always with avocado. Yummy!!!

Thank you for sharing this dish.
As a Peruvian I must say this is spot on!
The other two known variants of this dish are the one with tuna filling instead of chicken and the sea food variant, which is called "Causa del Abuelo" or "Grandpa's Causa" which has crab+lobster+shellfish filling and is topped with a bit of ceviche on the top.

I have never tried Peruvian cuisine. Seeing this has shown me that I have been missing out. Thanks for expanding our culinary world chef, not just our guts ;)
