Bolivian Albahaca Sauce
“Albahaca” is basil. In Bolivia this sauce is not really used on salads, but rather on hot dogs, meat patties, even bread. You could use low-fat yoghurt, but a creamy one such a Greek yoghurt is better. It is quite tart, and it can be adapted to your taste by adding a sweetener such as honey.
Yungueno (Bolivian Cocktail)
Adapted from BoliviaWeb and Time/Life Foods of the World. You can add less sugar if you wish. “Yungueno” means “from the Yungas,” which is a forested area on the Eastern slopes of the Andes. I’ve scaled this down to make fewer servings.
Spicy Bolivian Chicken
I don’t know if this is authentic or not, and I haven’t tried it yet (but will soon), but it sounds good. When I was in Bolivia they used peanuts in a lot of dishes that we ate, though I never had the chance to eat a chicken dish with peanuts. It says to serve with rice, but I think serving it with any kind of potato dish would be appropriate. Maybe boiled potatoes? We ate a lot of potatoes during our trip, that’s for sure!
Bolivian Salsa Cruda (Fresh Tomato and Onion Salsa)
A simple, finely chopped salsa to eat with baked or grilled chicken, or on hamburgers. A generic recipe which varies from kitchen to kitchen, in the northern countries of South and Central America.
