Directions
Pollo Asado Con Llajua (Cumin-Grilled Chicken With Spicy Salsa), Adapted from Planet Barbecue Llajua is an extremely hot Bolivian salsa It is normally made with locoto (rocoto) peppers, but if you can’t find them, feel free to use Scotch bonnets or jalapenos, depending on your heat tolerance Bolivians claim that the peppers need to be cut exactly as described in the recipe, or the flavor will be different Leave the seeds in if you want it even hotter Prep time includes marinating time The salsa may be made up to 2 hours in advance Note: this recipe is best made with bone-in chicken breasts If you use boneless, reduce cooking time accordingly , Really easy and yummy I love the layered flavors from the chicken and the sauce They complement eachother very well Per the directions, I blended the salsa ingredients, which made a sauce This was nice, but next time I think I would just leave the ingredients chunky Thank you for posting Made for the International Agents of Quest for the South American region in Culinary Quest , Great flavor, a little too hot for me, even though I cut way down on the amount of hot pepper Also added some onion But I would make this again anyway, just with fewer peppers!!
