Locro de Zapallo | Traditional Stew From Peru | TasteAtlas

Locro de zapallo

Locro de zapallo is a classic Peruvian dish consisting of squash pieces, potatoes, evaporated milk, queso fresco, vegetables (onions, peas, corn), and aji amarillo peppers. Because the stew is quite light, many people had locro for dinner, then went straight to bed during Colonial times.


When the stew is ready, it is recommended to serve it with white rice and fried plantains.
