Caigua Rellena Casera Con Guiso Criollo Homemade Stuffed Caigua with Creole Stew
La Caigua Rellena es un plato clásico del recetario criollo peruano. Consiste en caiguas, un vegetal nativo de sabor suave y textura similar a un pimiento, que se ahuecan y se rellenan con un guiso sabroso y sustancioso. El relleno tradicional se prepara con carne de res picada, sofrita en un aderezo de cebolla, tomate y ajíes peruanos (panca y amarillo), y se enriquece con huevo duro y aceitunas. Las caiguas ya rellenas se terminan de cocinar a fuego lento en la misma salsa del guiso, quedando tiernas y absorbiendo todo el sabor. Se sirve caliente, usualmente acompañado de arroz blanco. [Stuffed Caigua is a classic dish from the Peruvian Creole recipe book. It consists of caiguas, a native vegetable with a mild flavor and texture similar to a pepper, which are hollowed out and filled with a tasty and hearty stew. The traditional filling is prepared with minced beef, sautéed in a dressing of onion, tomato, and Peruvian peppers (panca and yellow), and is enriched with hard-boiled egg and olives. The already stuffed caiguas are finished cooking slowly in the same sauce of the stew, becoming tender and absorbing all the flavor. It is served hot, usually accompanied by white rice.]
