Recipe of Cold pichanga

The pichanga is a classic of street food and home cooking in several Latin American countries, especially in Peru and Chile, where it is prepared as a cold and hearty salad. This cold version is perfect for sharing at gatherings, as a side dish for meats, or simply to enjoy with some ice-cold beers. Its name, which is also used to refer to a disorder or mix, reflects the combination of fresh and tasty ingredients that characterize it.

This pichanga recipe is ideal for those looking for an easy and quick preparation, without needing to cook much. The ground meat is fried with garlic and salt, and mixed with purple onion in feathers, tomato in cubes, fresh cow cheese, and purple olives in strips.
