Sheethal and Tokumbo were determined to share their love of Peruvian food with the C Cubed crowd. Sheethal asked friends with Peruvian connections for the best Peruvian grocery stores. She went to Jackson Heights the Friday evening before to gather Peruvian ingredients.
(Check out Sheethal's last La Vida Idealist entry - http://lavidaidealist.org/2010/04/19/hungry/ about her favorite Peruvian and Bolivian food.)
The C Cubed menu consisted of -
- Chicha morada, a purple corn refreshment from Peru
- Make your own causa, which is cylindrical stacked potato, tomato, avocado, tuna perfection topped with a boiled egg slice, botija olive, and rocoto pepper sauce (see photo slideshow to understand the beauty of this dish)
- Fresh caught Fort Greene Farmer's Market local fluke ceviche, made with limón, cilantro and jalepeño
- Home-made tamales steamed in corn husks, stuffed with tomato, onion, cumin and a botija olive
- Soaked and boiled chuño, freeze-dried potatoes from Bolivia
- Lots of wine
- Cookies, chocolate cake and coffee dessert
