When I was a little girl, watching my abuelita and mami in the kitchen was like watching a flawless machine at work…but with cumbias and salsas, and a whole lot of chatting in the background. There, they would recreate recipes from Peru, all of which I would eagerly await to bite into later. One of my favorite dishes was Causa Rellena, because depending on your serving size it could be lunch, dinner, an appetizer, or even a midday snack. It’s filling, tasty and full of Peruvian flavor that will always remind me of that kitchen of my youth.
No matter how you spent the summer, Labor Day allows you to celebrate the season’s last hurrah with good food…
