"¡CANCHA FRITA! EL MEJOR SNACK PERUANO QUE TIENES QUE PROBAR"

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil adds flavor and is healthier, while canola oil is more cost-effective.

Wash the canchita serrana thoroughly.

Drain the canchita and let it dry completely.

Cut the pork fat into small pieces for making manteca.

Place a pot on the heat and add the pork fat and some water.

Add salt and cover the pot, letting it simmer for 10 to 20 minutes until the liquid evaporates and the manteca is released.

Once the manteca is ready, add the canchita to the pot.

Stir the canchita and let it toast in the manteca for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Remove the canchita from the pot and serve.
