Causa Rosa Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain, peel, and mash them while still warm. Mix in lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Beetroot Layer

    In a separate bowl, mash the boiled beetroot and mix with salt and a little lime juice. This will be your colored layer.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rocotto Mayo

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely chopped rocotto pepper, and a little lime juice for a spicy mayo. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Causa Rosa

    In a serving dish, spread a layer of the potato mixture, followed by a layer of the beetroot, then a layer of tuna cubes. Drizzle some rocotto mayo on top. Repeat the layers if desired.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional rocotto mayo if desired. Serve chilled.
