No Causa to be Confused

Causa: a dish that when I look at the recipe, I scratch my head in confusion and wonder how it can work. Yellow mashed potato with avocado, hardboiled egg, and either chicken or canned tuna? What were Peruvians thinking? But seriously, causa is delicious, and I guess you could call it a Peruvian version of potato salad (a much better one at that).

The less traditional causa in the picture above is from La Mar (yes, I went there again) and has crabmeat and raw tuna.  After trying causa, you will have no more reason to be confused of this seemingly unconventional dish.
