Cauche Arequipeno de Queso Paria Paria Cheese Custard From Arequipa
El "Cauche" (o Kauche) es un plato tradicional arequipeño que consiste en un guiso rápido, caliente y cremoso. Esta versión, la más popular, se elabora con Queso Paria (un queso fresco andino, firme y ligeramente salado) cortado en lonjas gruesas. El queso se cocina en una salsa vibrante hecha a base de un aderezo de ají panca y ajo, aromatizada con la hierba sagrada de los Andes, el huacatay, y desglasada con vino blanco. Se añaden papas sancochadas en rodajas para darle cuerpo y se termina con un chorro de leche evaporada que le da la textura cremosa final, uniendo todos los sabores. Es una entrada o un piqueo reconfortante, perfecto para comer con pan. ["Cauche" (or Kauche) is a traditional dish from Arequipa that consists of a quick, hot, and creamy stew.
