Ingredients

  • 4 large rocotos
  • 400 g of ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons of aji panca paste
  • 50 g of toasted peanuts, chopped
  • 50 g of raisins
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 150 g of fresh cheese in slices
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • Salt, cumin, oregano and pepper
  • Sugar and water to remove the heat

Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Cut the top off the rocotos, remove veins and seeds, and boil in water with sugar to remove the heat (reduces the spiciness). Set aside.
  2. Place the garlic and onion in the mixing bowl and chop 5 sec/speed 5.
  3. Add the oil and saute 6 min/120°C/spoon speed.
  4. Add the aji panca paste, cumin, oregano and salt and saute 3 min/120°C/spoon speed.
  5. Add the ground beef and cook 8 min/120°C/reverse/spoon speed.
  6. Add the peanuts, the raisins and the hard-boiled eggs and mix 1 min/reverse/spoon speed.
  7. Stuff the rocotos, cover with fresh cheese and bake at 180°C about 20 minutes until gratined. Serve with potato gratin.

Tips

  • Remove the heat from the rocotos two or three times if you want them less spicy.
  • The sweet touch of the raisins balances the heat.
  • Accompany with the traditional Arequipa potato gratin.
