Salteña - Salteñas are Bolivia's most famous sandwich. 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.
Chuño – Chuño is dried white potato, a staple food in Bolivia. These potatoes are peeled, sliced, and placed in the sun to dry until they become hard and wrinkled. They can be eaten raw or toasted, often as an accompaniment to soups, stews, or other dishes. Chuño is high in carbohydrates and can be stored for long periods, making it an important food source in the Andean regions.Historical Appearance
