Carapulcra is a traditional Peruvian stew made with dehydrated potatoes and either pork or chicken which is then dressed with a combination of onion, garlic, clove, yellow peppers, salt and pepper.
This is all cooked on a low flame and, once done, baked peanuts are added to give the dish it’s very particular taste. It can be served with rice or yucca and it’s simply delicious. The baked peanuts are what really make this dish as unique as it is.
