    Originally the huancaina sauce was made from only the aji amarillo (yellow peruvian chili and queso fresco and a little milk if necessary. There are many variations of this recipe now, but my mom and I make it that way and add the juice of half a key lime. Since I can't find the "fresco" style cheese, I use a mild (cow's milkfeta cheese. I haven't tried it with yucca, but I definitely will. It's yummy over spaghetti too.

    I boil and then fry the yucca. To make the sauce, buy the fresh queso (Mexican one Not the one that crumbs. It's Don Franciso and tkae 1 can of evap milk, one little teaspoon of aji sauce, 3 saltine crackers, 1/2 pd of cheese salt and pepper and blend in a blender. Add salt and more cheese and aji if needed. Super easy and you can use it with small boiled red potatoes too. I like it with yucca.

    Really good. The sauce was just the right amount of spicy. I couldn't find the yellow pepper but replaced it with a different spicy pepper. Still turned out great.

    Excellent recipe for this classical Peruvian dish. But this is traditionally done with potatos. My gut feeling is that this is much better with potatos.
