CUY?



GUINEA PIGS! (<----Delicious Pictures!)

Ingredients
2 lrg guinea pigs
2 red onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp white pepper
2 tsp salt
2 tbl water
2 tbl cooking oil
annatto (for coloring)
Peanut Dipping Sauce


Directions
Mix ingredients well and spread over the inside and outside of the animal. Allow to marinate for up to one day to allow flavors to meld. Before roasting, remove excess marinade to avoid scalding. Insert a steak into the back part of the animal and allow to exit from the jaw. Once on the stick, tie the front and back feet, stretching out the legs. Put on grill, turning manually. Continue to apply lard to the skin to avoid drying out the meat. The cuy is ready when the skin is close to bursting. Serve with boiled potatoes sprinkled with coriander, chilies, and the Peanut sauce. If your community is especially progressive, rice may be substituted for the potatoes.



Bon Appetit!
