PERUVIAN CAUSA
This spicy potato-layered dish with meat is a everyone-is-going-to-love-it dish! Even if people don't like certain ingredients, the combination is sensational! With this dish you can make the layers as thin or as thick as you like. You can substitute the tuna with chicken or other seafood.

PERUVIAN CRAB CAUSA
My friend Rosario, just returned from her home in Peru and she gave me this recipe, It is delicious! "A "causa: is a dish of layered ingredients(like a terrine) served cold for a light entree or a first course on warm days, making it an ideal dish for entertaining. Embellish each serving with a wedge of an avocado sprinkled with salt, pepper and lime juice, then garnish with slices of hard-boiled egg and a drizzle of mayonnaise slightly diluted by lemon juice." Don't let the long laundry list scare you - it's really worth trying. Cooling times vary - I figure about 2 hrs.

Steps:
- Grease a 12-inch rectangular bread mold and cover with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap making sure they overlap so all the bottom and sides of the mold are covered and there is enough wrap on the sides of the mold so as to fold it once the causa has been assembled and you can tightly cover it.
- PREPARE THE RELISH:.
- To start the relish, finely mince the red onion, place it in a bowl and cover it with the vinegar; allow to rest for about 45 minutes.
- POTATO PASTE:.
- Place potatoes in a large pot with enough cold water to cover them by over 2 inches of water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and bring to a boil.
- Cook for about 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
- Drain and let them cool until you can handle them safely.
- Meanwhile, place the jalapeno pepper slices along with their juice in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture, separating the juice from pulp and keeping both.
- When the potatoes are cooled, peel them.
- Once they are peeled, press the potatoes through a potato ricer or the fine side of a cheese grater, making sure no lumps remain.
- Place potato paste in a large bowl and add the lime juice, canola or corn oil and 4 tablespoons of the jalapeño juice.
- Mix with a potato masher, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Place in the refrigerator until cooled.
- TO COMPLETE THE RELISH:.
- Strain the onion, discarding the vinegar; mix with the cilantro, a little bit of salt and pepper, 1/2 cup of the minced yellow peppers, the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of the jalapeno pulp (not the juice).
- Taste and check seasoning adding more salt, pepper, juice or paste if desired, according to preference.
- MAKE THE CAUSA:.
- Mix the crabmeat with the mayonnaise and the lime juice; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place in refrigerator.
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, removing the pit.
- Cut each half in half again, making a total of four wedges.
- Using a large spoon, scoop each full avocado wedge out of the skin.
- Cut 1/4-inch thick slices across each avocado wedge (not lengthwise).
- Season with a little bit of salt, pepper and sprinkle some lime juice over all the slices.
- PREPARE THE TERRINE OR BREAD MOLD:.
- Once the potato paste is cooled, use a large spoon to spread 1/3 of the paste into a layer at the bottom of the bread mold.
- Use the backside of the spoon to evenly coat all of the bottom.
- Place 1/2 of the avocado slices in the mold for the next layer - making sure all corners and sides of the mold are covered with avocado.
- Set aside six dollops of crabmeat mixture for the serving.
- Now place 1/2 of the remaining crabmeat mixture into the mold for the next layer.
- Press down firmly with the back of a spoon.
- Repeat with one layer each of potato paste, avocado and crab, and then finish with a layer of potato paste on top.
- Fold the plastic wrap over the top of the mold (use more plastic wrap if needed to seal the top well).
- Press slightly and put in the refrigerator to chill well, at least one hour. (Place the extra crabmeat mix into the refrigerator as well.).
- To serve, carefully uncover the plastic wrap from the top of the mold.
- Unmold the crab causa over a serving platter.
- Spread some of the relish over the top of the causa.
- Place chopped lettuce leaves on six serving plates.
- Cut the causa carefully into six slices and, using a spatula, lift each slice and place one slice on top of the lettuce on each serving plate.
- Add more of the relish on the top of each slice and a dollop of the reserved crabmeat mix.
- Enjoy!

PERUVIAN POTATO-CHICKEN SALAD (CAUSA RELLENA)
There's nothing very unusual about serving a chicken or potato salad at a cookout, which is why this layered Peruvian potato and chicken salad will cause such a stir. Or should I say, 'causa' a stir, since in Peru that's what this gorgeous dish is called. Infused with aji amarillo, lime juice, and cilantro, these are perfect for making ahead and packing in your cooler on a hot summer day. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and cilantro if desired.

Steps:
- Combine chicken, green peas, carrot, shallot, roasted red peppers, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and cayenne. Add mayonnaise and mix until combined. Cover chicken salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place potatoes into a pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Drain well and transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.
- Add jai amarillo, olive oil, and lime juice to the potatoes. Season with cayenne and salt. Mash together with the potato masher. Switch to a spatula and mix until completely smooth.
- Line four 6-ounce ramekins with plastic wrap. Scoop mashed potatoes evenly into ramekins; press and smooth out the tops. Cover each with a layer of avocado slices. Fill ramekin to the top with chicken salad, pressing it down and pulling up the plastic wrap to eliminate any air pockets. Cover with a final layer of mashed potatoes, going up to 1/2 inch or more over the rim.
- Seal top with a new layer of plastic wrap and fold the sides over to seal. Refrigerate salads until completely chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, and aji amarillo together for the sauce, adding a splash of water to adjust the thickness.
- Remove the top layer of plastic wrap from each salad. Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate; remove ramekins, then plastic wrap. Spoon some sauce around each salad.
