Peruvian style pork sandwich
We fantasized about what this pork recipe would be like in a sandwich. Please note that the meat can be served as-is, or with rice and vegetables. We strongly recommend including the Aji Amarillo aïoli, which adds an immense amount of flavour to the sandwich. Serve any leftovers with pan-fried fish, grilled vegetables or cold meats. For a simpler version, mix 1 cup of mayonnaise with 2 Tbsp of Layover in Peru spice blend and 6 chopped garlic cloves.
