Causa limeña

Ingredients for the dough:


3 yellow peppers
1 kilogram of yellow potatoes
3 lemons
60 milliliters of vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the filling:
250 grams of chicken
2 onions
1 green bell pepper
5 chili peppers
100 grams of mayonnaise
1 medium avocado, sliced
1 medium carrot

Preparation:

1: To make the recipe for the Cause Lima, you must first keep in mind that the base of the dough
for the Cause Lima is potatoes. To make it, remove the peel and bring them to a boil with a little
salt until they soften.
2: Meanwhile, prepare the yellow chili sauce that will serve to add flavor and color to the dough.
You just have to chop the peppers, remove the seeds and veins and cut them into quarters. Bring
them to a boil until they soften.
3: When they are soft, remove the skin and blend the meat.
4: You will get a sauce with a slightly thick consistency and a nice yellow color. Reserve it.
5: Now is the time to prepare the chicken of the Peruvian cause. Cook it in water along with one of
the onions, the green pepper and the chili peppers. Of course, don't forget the salt. A level scoop
is fine, although it is to your liking.
6: In the same water as the chicken you can boil the beans and carrots. Of course, it is important
that nothing is cooked more than it should. When they're done, remove them from the water and
shred the chicken completely.
7: When the potatoes are ready, take advantage of the fact that they are hot to make the dough.
Just puree them and try to make it as thin as possible.
8: Now add all the other ingredients to the puree: the yellow sauce, the oil, the lemon juice, salt
and pepper. Mix very well by kneading with your hands.
9: Add the shredded chicken together with the other finely chopped onion, the mayonnaise and a
little salt and pepper.
10: The time has come to set up the Lima cause. First, take a portion of the dough and cover the
bottom of a mold. Next, place the avocado slices on top of the puree.
11: Cover the avocado with the chicken mixture.
12: Take another small portion of batter and cover all the chicken. On top, layer the carrots and
green beans.
13: With the remaining dough, cover the Lima cause well. For the garnish, cut the eggs lengthwise
and place them on top of the cause next to the olives. Let it rest a bit in the fridge. This is a dish
that is served cold.
