Recipe of Causeus! much more than a lumami

Causeo is a traditional Chilean dish born as a clever way to use leftovers from the pot, turning them into a tasty and comforting meal. Although many confuse it with lumami, causeo stands out for its mix of boiled potatoes, meat (from roast, chicken, or ground beef), sautéed vegetables, and a touch of merkén that gives it a unique character. It is ideal for those looking for an easy, economical, and versatile recipe, perfect for sharing with family or solving a quick weekday meal.

The preparation is simple: garlic is sautéed, then the chopped ingredients are added (potatoes in slices, mushrooms in halves, tomato, purple onion, green pepper, and chive stems) and everything is cooked for about 15 minutes. Finally, it is seasoned with salt, merkén, and fresh cilantro. Causeo admits endless variations: you can add grated cheese, sauces, or even pair it with a papaya smoothie. It is a recipe that invites creativity and the use of ingredients, always achieving a delicious result.
