Fricasé



Fricasé is a traditional soup in Bolivian cuisine prepared with pork, pork ribs or chicken, hominy, chuño (a freeze-dried potato product) or potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and spices. It is sometimes consumed as a hangover food, as having a theoretical potential for easing or alleviating symptoms associated with the hangover.

Fricasé is a common soup in Bolivia, and is often sold and consumed in the morning. It is a spicy soup that is typically prepared using large chunks of meat, and chuno potatoes are typically used in the Altiplano region of Bolivia.
