Causa Rellena is a traditional Peruvian dish made with layers of creamy, seasoned mashed potatoes and a flavorful filling, often consisting of shredded chicken or tuna mixed with mayonnaise, avocado, and vegetables like peas or carrots. The potatoes are typically spiced with lime juice, yellow chili pepper (ají amarillo), and a touch of oil, giving the dish its signature brightness and mild heat. This versatile recipe is served chilled, making it a refreshing option for warmer weather. Causa Rellena incorporates nutrient-rich ingredients such as potatoes, which are a good source of vitamin C and potassium, and avocado, providing healthy fats and fiber. However, the dish can be high in calories and fats due to the mayonnaise and oil, so moderation is key. As a vibrant example of Andean and coastal influences in Peruvian cuisine, this dish strikes a balance between comfort and freshness.
