Peruvian Salsa Ocopa

Salsa Ocopa

Originally from Arequipa in southern Peru, Salsa Ocopa is a popular Peruvian sauce and similar in texture to Salsa Huancaina. While it's as well served with boiled potatoes, its flavor, however is very different.

Main ingredient of Salsa Ocopa is the herb Huacatay (Peruvian black mint) which gives the sauce a really unique delicious taste. Other ingredients include fresh white cheese (queso fresco), onions, aji amarillo and milk.

Ocopa sauce is ideal to accompany meat dishes, potatoes, pastas and fried foods like tequeños,  yuca (cassava) or others.
