Tuna Causa (Causa de Atún)

Slice of rolled tuna causa topped with chopped egg and crispy sweet potato

Causa de atún is one of my favorite ways to turn simple potatoes into something special: creamy, fresh, a little spicy, and SO good! The potato mixture is seasoned with ají amarillo, fresh lime, and avocado oil, then filled with creamy tuna and avocado, because a causa without avocado just isn’t the same.

Suspiro de Limeña

Suspiro de limeña in glasses: manjar topped with port wine meringue and cinnamon

Suspiro de limeña is one of Peru’s most iconic desserts: rich, silky manjar at the base, topped with a cloud of port wine Italian meringue.

Peruvian Pan de Molde (Sandwich Bread)

Homemade Peruvian pan de molde sandwich loaf, partly sliced, on a wooden board

There’s something incredibly satisfying about baking your own sandwich bread, and this Peruvian pan de molde is one of my absolute favorites: soft, fluffy, buttery, and perfect for everything from breakfast toast to sandwiches… and of course, the classic Triple Peruano! Thanks to bread flour and proper kneading, the loaf stays soft while being sturdy enough to hold your favorite fillings.
