Preparation of Llajhua My family has not been able to find all ingredients for this sauce in local markets, such as the locoto or quirquiña, so we have substituted them with cilantro and jalapeño. 1. Blend the cilantro, jalapeño (remove the seeds), and tomato into a thick paste. 2. Put into a small bowl, and add a pinch of salt and mix. Assemble the dish 1. On a large flat plate place a few chuño along the side and a good amount of mote in the center. 2. On top of the mote serve pieces of pork. Make sure to get some extra teaspoons of the juices/paste from the tray and sprinkle on the chicharrón for more flavour. 3. It is now to serve. 4. At both ends of the table place a small bowl of llajhua and teaspoons so everyone can add the sauce to the chuño, mote or chicharrón as/if desired. Enjoy.
