what is pachamanca
1 answer
Pachamanca is a traditional Peruvian dish that is typically prepared by cooking marinated meats, potatoes, and vegetables in an underground oven. The foods are marinated in a mixture of herbs, spices, and sometimes beer or wine before being wrapped in banana leaves and placed in a shallow pit lined with hot stones. The pit is then covered with more hot stones, dirt, and grass, and the food is left to cook slowly for several hours. The result is a flavorful and tender dish that is popular in the Andean regions of Peru.
