Today, as today is Sunday, I invite you to eat your screen of computer for want of anything better ;)

Pachamanca is a traditional Peruvian dish based on the baking, with the aid of hot stones, of lamb, mutton, pork, chicken or guinea pig, marinated in spices. Other Andean produce, such as potato, sweet potato, and occasionally cassava, as well as ground maize and chile, is included in the baking.

This important part of Peruvian cuisine, which has existed since the time of the Inca Empire, has evolved over time, and its consumption is now widespread throughout modern Peru, where regional variations have appeared in the technical process of production, but not in the ingredients or their baking.


Preparation begins with the heating of stones over a fire, and the meat is then placed on top. The fire is covered with grass and earth, and the resulting oven is opened up after around an hour and a half. Usually, a large quantity of meat is cooked, perhaps a whole sheep, to serve several people.

Good appetite :)

Salut philippe
Je ne connais pas la Pachamanca. Merci donc de nous apprendre ce que c'est. Sur le plan photographique je trouve franchement que c'est un peu moyen car . On m'aurait fait deviner j'aurais cru que l'on fondais du laiton. Pas très apétissant. Je préfère nettement le WS qui présente la scène dans son ensemble.
Amicalement

Hi Philippe,

this is a decent & original cooking formula...and i like the free air aspect of it very much...an informative, sensible post showing many of us what food is all about, and it is not about brand products served to us in supermarkets...hope you enjoyed your share...cheers, arturo
