What it is
A rich and creamy Huancaína sauce, traditionally made with aji amarillo, queso fresco, and heavy cream (ensuring no crackers, milk, or starchy thickeners), served over a generous portion of steamed or lightly sautéed low-carb vegetables such as blanched green beans, asparagus, or broccoli florets, in place of traditional potatoes.
Key ingredients
Aji amarillo paste, queso fresco (or similar mild cheese), heavy cream, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, chosen low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, asparagus, broccoli).
How to make it keto
Crucially, substitute potatoes with requested low-carb vegetables. Confirm the sauce is made with heavy cream and cheese, without crackers, starchy thickeners, or added sugar.
Watch out for
Aji amarillo paste has natural carbs; restaurant sauces might use hidden crackers, milk, or sugar. Large portions of onions used in the sauce can contribute to carb count.
