Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 kg dehydrated Potatoes
  • 1/2 kg Pork meat cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 tablespoons Aji panca
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground Garlic
  • chicken broth
  • 150 g ground Peanuts
  • Boiled Yucca
  • Oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a hot pan, brown the dried potatoes and pour them into a bowl of water to hydrate them.
  • Once hydrated (you’ll be able to tell, since they’ll be swollen), rinse them well and let them drain.
  • Now, in a pot, fry the pieces of meat in very hot oil and season it with the garlic and salt. Then put it aside.
  • In the same pot, fry the onion very well, then add the ají panca, and the garlic, and let it all brown. Then stir to integrate the ingredients well.
  • Finally, put in the dried potatoes and add the broth as it thickens until everything is cooked, then mix it with the meat that you put aside and let it boil.
  • Serve the stew with the boiled Yucca.
