6 In the same water as the chicken you can boil the beans and
carrots. When they are 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 mash them and make sure
they are as fine as possible.
8 Now add all the other ingredients to the puree: the yellow sauce,
the oil, the juice of the lemons, salt and pepper. Mix very well by
kneading with your hands.

onion, mayonnaise and a little salt and pepper.
10 Now it's time to assemble the causa limeña. First, take a portion
of the dough and cover the bottom of a mold. Then, place the
avocado slices on top of the puree.
11 Cover the avocado with the chicken mixture.
12 Take another small portion of dough and cover all the chicken.
On top, place the layer of carrots and green beans.

garnish, cut the eggs lengthwise and place them on top of the
causa along with the olives. Let it rest for a while in the
refrigerator. This is a dish to be served cold.
