About the dish

Saralawa is a traditional soup originating from the region of Cusco. It is made with fava beans, potatoes, cornmeal, and herbs such as coriander, parsley, and huacatay. The creamy soup is one of the most consumed dishes in the region, and it is prepared throughout the year. When served, it should be piping hot, and only the uppermost layer of soup should be transferred from the big pot to the plate, without any stirring, as it will cause the soup to separate.
