PEPIÁN DE CHOCLO CON TOLLO APANADO 🍛🐟😋🇵🇪❤

tollo

🥗Healthier: grilled fish

💰Cheaper: tilapia

Tilapia is a more affordable fish option that still provides a good texture.

aji amarillo

🥗Healthier: aji panca

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Aji panca offers a similar flavor profile while being easier to find.

Use choclos that are neither too tender nor too dry.

Blend the choclo with a little water for easier blending.

Add aji amarillo, onion, cilantro stems, and garlic to the blender for better flavor.

Reserve the blended mixture.

In a pot, heat oil and sauté onion and garlic.

Add aji mirasol and a bit of aji panca, along with pepper and optional turmeric.

Once sautéed, add the blended choclo mixture to the pot.

Cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, and add salt to taste.

For the tollo, season with salt, lime juice, and aji amarillo or mustard.

Coat the tollo in bread crumbs.

Fry the tollo in warm oil over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

After 25 minutes, add evaporated milk and pieces of butter to the choclo mixture.

Serve the pepián de choclo with the fried tollo.
