Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

This is traditionally made using aji panca, a smoky Peruvian chilli pepper. We use chipotle flakes and paprika to recreate the taste, but if you find aji panca paste, use that!

NEW TIP

Chilli Oil Fried Egg

I cooked my fried egg in chilli oil. Is extra calories but just added that extra kick and I have no regrets!

Quick and Warming

Love this recipe. I make it for two, and go a bit ad lib. I usually add red pepper, and some tinned tomatoes, then use the same amount of beef and slightly less pasta, and leave out the egg and it makes enough for a meal.

Good winter warmer.

Simmer and reduce the stock a little before adding the pasta.
