Picante de cuy

Picante de cuy is a traditional dish originating from Peru. It's usually made with a combination of cuy (guinea pigs), potatoes, garlic, ají peppers, oil, and salt. The guinea pigs are cut into pieces and seasoned with salt and garlic. They're fried on both sides in hot oil, and once fried, the boiled potatoes, ground ají peppers, and minced garlic are added to the pan and everything is lightly roasted. Picante de cuy is traditionally served with white rice and salsa criolla on the side.
