Chirimpico is a traditional dish from the Peruvian Lambayeque region, made using the goat offal. This typically includes the heart, lungs, liver, and stomach, among others. The organs are finely chopped and sautéed with loche squash and aromatic ingredients like garlic, onions, and aji peppers. Some variations might include the addition of potatoes or peas. The organs provide a distinct taste, which is complemented by the spicy kick from the aji and the aromatic sautéed vegetables. It's a dish that showcases the importance of utilizing every part of an animal in Andean cuisine, minimizing waste. It's usually served with boiled potatoes or mote (hominy corn) on the side. In some settings, it might be accompanied by a piece of bread.
