Cau Cau is a traditional Peruvian tripe stew dish typically served with rice.

The classic cau cau recipe uses tripe but modern versions of the dish use chicken and even seafood as its main ingredient.

Cau cau is typically seasoned with aji amarillo, cumin, red onions, turmeric and garlic.

  • 2 lbs Beef Honeycomb Tripe
