Easy Papa a la Huancaina (Peruvian Yellow Pepper Cheese Sauce)

[@adolfobriceno1635]

Thanks. We all love eating Huancaina Sauce as a dip with fried Yucca

[@AlexR05e]

So glad to have found this, I had a short stay with some folks, who I suppose may have been Peruvian, but I am unsure. Anyway, it was only one night if I recall, and they fed me this dish, and me, being a confused lil white teen, had NO idea what it was. I had become convinced I had made it up in my head, but finally I can tell this is exactly what it had to have been The sauce was so good, and took me by surprise considering how picky of an eater I am.

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

I’m glad you found this video too!! This sauce is the BEST!! Let me know how it comes out if you try to make it (:

[@Food2Table]

[@inthevortex-de1rh]

Looks amazing! We are definitely making this! Thank you!

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

Sounds great! (: thanks for watching

[@andeanphoto]

Your Mom is Peruvian for sure. Thanks for sharing.

[@giovanna_IAM]

Fricken Love this sauce. Im peruvian. My family does it with jalapeno. Sometimes some serano. Sometimes cottage cheese. Overall generally the same. ❤❤❤

[@lacria2749]

Thank you for speaking English. My wife don’t speak Spanish and it’s so hard to translate or explain better

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

Of course, thank you for watching!! Let me know if there are any more recipes you would like to see (:

[@mirando100]

I am peruvian living many years in the USA and believe me I started cooking my peruvian dishes...thanks

[@susannasenti2871]

Thank you.

[@sexygreek5829]

My hubby is Peruvian and i am Greek...going to try this did you boil the aji amarillo? Thank you can’t wait to make it! I know how to make lomo saltado and caldo de Gallina ❤️

[@RickyBlue82]

Omg that look so good

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

Thank you so much!

[@jujukite6314]

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

Thank you for watching!! (:

[@FranciscoMartinez-uq2zn]

Delicious 😋

[@jamietombling634]

Glad you posted videos!

[@pct87]

My buddy told me he puts saltine crackers in there as well. Is there a purpose for that?

[@EliSFig-dr5cx]

Yes

[@kittysparkleeyes]

this is useful, my friend's mum cooks this for me when I go to lima. I always wanted to make in England. not sure I can buy that cheese here though..

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

aw im sure you can! it should be a a crumby fresh white cheese..hopefully sometime soon you come across it!

[@masonflores7830]

If we can’t find the yellow peppers how much would the substitute amount be for the aji amarillo paste?

[@cpvillacis]

I used to use the aji amarillo paste, it was not bad at all.

[@dianamorales7335]

My family would use jalapeño and turmeric for color

[@debralopez1274]

If your mom is Peruvian, you are also Peruvian! Own it! 🥰

[@lulazeta8965]

YOU CAN HAVE DOUBLE NATIONALITY SINCE THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR PARENTS ARE FROM PERU. EACH COUNTRY HAS ITS PROS AND CONS SO WHY NOT ENJOY BOTH NATIONALITIES.

[@pgn77]

Delicious!

[@designthinkingwithgian]

can you show which brand of "queso fresco"? there's way too many options at the grocery store

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

Hi! Yes any brand will work such as Cacique or I used Caribe, just make sure the sauce is smooth and cant feel the tiny pieces of cheese (:

[@moreofawave]

Do people add crackers for the thickness or so that it is for more people?

[@lulazeta8965]

HEARD THEY ADDED IT FOR THE THICKNESS. DUE TO THE SOIL MANY PLANTS CHANGE FLAVOR OR CONSISTENSY. IT USED TO BE THAT OUR GRANDMAS DID NOT NEED THE CRACKERS IN THEIR DAYS. NO PROBLEM WITH CONSISTENCY

[@moreofawave]

@@lulazeta8965 Hmm. Okay. Thanks.

[@enriqueflores4094]

No Bad flaca, No Bad !

[@chloelimbs4946]

I AM A PERUVIAN!!!!!!!!

[@hxchirinos1337]

Looks really good, from one Peruvian to another!, Should do one with ceviche mixto if you don't have one already lol

[@tammygurl64]

I'm probably not spelling this correctly but I had a home cooked meal in Lima, Peru which contained chicken, pepper, bread, maybe rice, and boiled egg. I thought it was called Ahi de Gallina but the word Gallina may be what you said and spelled instead since I'm not very good with Spanish. Are they the same or similar? I would love to enjoy that meal again. Can you do the recipe I'm describing? I would appreciate it very much! I loved Peruvian food but decided to pass on the cuy. LOL!

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

Hi Tammy! So i have the Aji de Gallina recipe on my channel. I posted it about a week ago! Everything is pretty straight forward. I would go to a latin store in your area & look for the yellow Peruvian peppers to make that recipe. haha yeah the cuy could be a shock for some people :p Also, papa la huancaina is different from aji de gallina as it is cheese based...but that just says how good this is too! Let me know if you try them (:

[@tammygurl64]

Allison Belanger Thank you so much, Allison! And I did spell it correctly!! ☺ As good luck would have it, I received my Peruvian snack care pack today consisting of regular and chile picante flavor Inka Corn as well as habas. Yummy!! 😋 My friend sends them to me every year from Lima ever since I visited in 2012. Best vacation ever!! I rarely cook but I will let you know if/when I try your recipe. You do a great job explaining how to cook these delightful dishes. I tried to get the recipe from my friend's maid but much got lost in translation since she spoke no English and I very little Spanish. LOL! Anyway, great video! Thanks again for shari g. 😀😀

[@mamaj305]

I’ve always made it with crackers, everything but with crackers

[@itsmesheyla1942]

The pepper look orange and did you cook it first? Doesn’t look raw

[@CarlosGarcia-ti9xo]

Laawwwwddd 🌹😘

[@markrandall2997]

I much prefer to fry my potatoes for this dish for me is much much better

[@lulazeta8965]

TALKING ABOUT THE SKIN OF THE FROZEN PEPPERS, SOME PEOPLE FIND IT EASIER TO FIRST, PEEL THOSE FROZEN PEPPERS, SINCE THE SKIN COMES OFF EASILY. THEN YOU CHOP THESE PEPPERS. BY THE WAY, DID YOU DO A VIDEO ON "AJI DE GALLINA"?

[@enitangeles-lopez3135]

El orginal no es con crackers, es solo con queso. En Lima, mi mama hacia aumentar la salsa con galletas porque como eramos muchos no habia suficiente dinero para comprar tanto queso, es decir hacia una huancaina adulterada x razones economicas.

[@delisselopez89]

yo la hice por primera vez y me quedo como arenosa, habra sido porque le eche galletas?

[@dianamorales7335]

​@@delisselopez89Alomejor usaste much galletas? O mucho queso?

[@dianamorales7335]

A mi me gusta con los galletas 😊 Pero no e probado en este forma

[@emcoreas3676]

do you still play volleyball? Great video btw!!

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

+Em Coreas Hi, thank you so much! & no, I am not playing competitively anymore..but i still play for fun!

[@TheCoolhead27]

​@@AllisonSweetKitchencan I Substitute with a different pepper I don't know where I can find those ones.

[@HERBWELSHMAN]

I love you

[@littleclay5875]

... one new video per minute would be okay with me

[@myrianfritzler2697]

That huancayna es too poor, needs some garlic and onion cut in Julianas, first fry with the ají when is medium gold fried put to the blender and you are going to need saltines. This is very bad recipe.

[@AllisonSweetKitchen]

Myrian Fritzler hi there! Thank you for watching my video. That is the more complex way of making it. I know how to do it that way as well & I just wanted to make is easier for viewers (: if you would like another video with onions and garlic let me know!
