Peru

Food and wine from Peru, South America.

Caldo de cabeza de carnero is a clear, restorative Andean soup in which lamb is simmered for hours until the broth turns rich and gelatinous. Yellow potatoes, a dried ají mirasol pepper and a generous handful of fresh mint finish it. This version uses bone-in lamb, which is easier to find than a whole sheep's head and gives a similar broth.
