A few weeks ago, I decided to do something different for Que Rica Vida. Since I gave up trying to make the perfect vegetarian ají de gallina a long time ago, I thought of doing something different. I prepared a deconstructed ají de gallina-inspired plate of ravioli. In a way, this is similar to our gnocchi with seco sauce, which was our creative way of turning this traditional dish vegetarian. I have to confess I’ve never had a real ají de gallina, as I’ve been off-chicken since I was a little girl, but whether it tasted a lot or just a little bit like it, this plate was very enjoyable and something worth trying.

I had this amazing vegan dish at Alma Zen last week and was just baffled by how this aji de choclo stuffing in the red pepper can taste like the Chinese turnip cake with bacon? I was bashful about asking what was in it and really regret it. Any ideas on ingredients? I took a picture. The yellow sauce on the side had a nice hint of passion fruit which was also delicious.
Hi Kerry. We are forwarding your request to AlmaZen. That restaurant is awesome!
The link to the recipe doesn’t work 🙁 I really want to try the vegan Aji de Gallina! I have made up an amazing vegan style of Carapulcra. Maybe we can swap recipe 😉
