Preparation of Caigua Rellena
- We put half a kilo of caiguas to cook in a pot with plenty of water for an approximate time of 10 to 20 minutes, until they are completely cooked. They are then rapidly cooled in ice water.
- We prepare the filling with that beef, which is not ground, but is chopped with a knife and stewed in a dressing made slowly with a lot of onion, a little garlic, a little liquefied panca pepper and a peanut point finish.
- Then we fill the Caigua with that previously made stew, which, seasoned with salt, pepper and cumin, is ready to add its raisins, its eggs and its olives.
- Now we prepare the caiguas to be stewed again in 15 minutes over low heat and that's it!
- To serve, we can accompany the caigua with its white rice or some boiled potatoes.
