Appetizers

Papa a la Ocopa / Ocopa Style Potatoes

Ocopa is a Peruvian food dish, originally from the city of Arequipa. Boiled potatoes are bathed in a special green cheese sauce made with peanuts, bread, oil, garlic, onion and milk. The cheese sauce gets its green color from a flavorful Peruvian Black Mint called Hucatay.

Papa a la Huancaina / Huancayo Style Potatoes

This comforting Peruvian creole appetizer features boiled potatoes with cheese sauce seasoned with garlic, onion, turmeric, and milk.

Ceviche De Pescado
