Olluquito con charqui

Olluquito con charqui is a traditional dish originating from Cusco. This stew consists of two main parts – olluco, a tuber that grows in the Andes, and charqui – dried and salted llama or alpaca meat. The potatoes are cut into thin strips and mixed with garlic, oil, chili peppers, charqui, salt, pepper, and cumin. Once cooked, the stew is garnished with chopped parsley and served with rice on the side. In Cusco, this stew can be found in most restaurants at any time of the year.
