Ingredients

2 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
1 kg potatoes (Maris Peer or Charlotte)
350g skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp mayonnaise
Dash of olive oil
1-2 tsp aji amarillo chilli paste (or liquidized mild red chilli)
1 lime
Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper

To garnish

2 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
1 kg potatoes (Maris Peer or Charlotte)
350g skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp mayonnaise
Dash of olive oil
1-2 tsp aji amarillo chilli paste (or liquidized mild red chilli)
1 lime
Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe Hass avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced

Method

STEP 1
Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain, cool for a while, then peel them and mash thoroughly. Leave until cold.
STEP 2
Meanwhile, poach the chicken breasts in simmering water, seasoned with salt and pepper, for 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Shred finely and mix with the mayonnaise.
STEP 3
Mix the oil, chilli paste and juice of ½ lime into the mashed potato. Season. Mash the avocados with the remaining lime juice and season with a little salt and pepper.
STEP 4
To assemble each causa, put a deep 7cm cook’s ring or round mould on a plate (or use a cookie cutter). Spoon in some mashed potato to a depth of about 1cm and smooth out evenly, using the back of a spoon.
STEP 5
Spread a layer of the avocado over the potato, then a layer of the chicken mixture. Repeat another layer of avocado and finish with a layer of mashed potato.
STEP 6
Use the rest of the mixture to make 6 causas in total. Chill for 10 minutes, then remove the moulds. Serve, garnished with sliced avocado and salad leaves.
