About Causa encevichada

Causa Encevichada is a flavorful dish from Peruvian cuisine that combines elements of traditional Causa Limeña with ceviche. This layered dish typically features a base of mashed yellow potatoes seasoned with lime juice and ají amarillo, topped with fresh fish marinated in citrus and spices, creating a vibrant fusion of textures and flavors. Often garnished with red onions, cilantro, and avocado slices, it delivers a refreshing balance of tangy and creamy notes. Nutritionally, Causa Encevichada offers lean protein from the fish and healthy fats from avocado, while the potatoes provide energy-boosting carbohydrates. However, its calorie count can rise with heavy use of mayonnaise or rich toppings, depending on the recipe. This dish is both a tribute to Peru's culinary ingenuity and a delicious option for those seeking a nutrient-dense but indulgent meal.
