Causa Rellena Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds yellow potatoes or floury potatoes (boiled, peeled and mashed)
  • ½ chicken breast poached and shredded
  • 3 tablespoon of ground ají amarillo (yellow chili)
  • 1 ½ avocados
  • 2 tomatoes
  • ½ chopped onion
  • 1 key lime
  • 2 boiled eggs
  • Mayonnaise
  • Salt, pepper y oil

For dressing:

  • 1 boiled egg
  • ½ avocado
  • Black olives
  • Chopped parsley

Preparation:

  • Knead the potatoes and add the ground aji amarillo, key lime juice, salt, pepper, olive oil and thinly chopped onion (manage to get a compact and uniform dough).
  • Add a little oil in a mold or baking pan of 8x8 inches and 2" deep approximately.
  • The causa is made of 3 layers of potatoes so you need to divide the dough in 3 equal parts.
  • Add the first layer at the bottom of the mold.
  • Now, fill it with the shredded chicken and mix it with the mayonnaise, add as much mayonnaise as you like. Make sure to spread it evenly.
  • Add another layer of potatoes. Grease this layer with mayonnaise and on top of it, add the thinly sliced avocado, tomatoes and egg.
  • Finally, add the third layer of potatoes (press the whole using your palms to compact the causa)
  • Unmold and dress with parsley, olives, and thinly sliced boiled eggs and avocado.

Tip:

  • You can also use individual mini molds instead of one big mold.
