They consist of a crusty roll filled with a mixture of beef, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and hot peppers, all drenched in a tangy, spicy sauce made from vinegar, chili peppers, garlic and cumin. The dish originates from the Yungas region but can be found throughout the country.
Ají de Gallina - Aji de gallina is a traditional Bolivian stew made with hen or rooster cooked in a spicy aji pepper sauce, which is a mix of yellow chilies and ají amarillo, both native to South America. The bird is marinated in the sauce before cooking and then served with rice, often accompanied by a side dish of potatoes.
