This delicious Andean stew is packed with flavor and features pumpkins, chilies and huacatay (black mint). It’s the perfect comfort food for uncertain times. This recipe will be demonstrated on Instagram Live using the Snow Peak Home & Camp Burner and Aluminum Caldero, tune in at 12 pm PST!  

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, mashed

Directions:

  • In the Caldero, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat, saute onion and garlic, stirring until the onion is very soft. Add the aji amarillo paste and then cook for four more minutes, stirring occasionally.
