Peruvian Amazon Food: Carachama broth

The carachama broth or carachama soup is a typical food of the Amazonian communities in the department of Loreto, in Peru.

The carachama is a fish with 16 different species that lives in fresh water. These types of carachama can be found in rivers with large stones, since they occur in those areas, other specimens of carachama such as the shiyu live in rocks and their reproduction is by making holes in those types of places.

The traditional preparation of carachama broth is in clay pots (kallana). Kallana is made by women from Amazonian communities with a special clay called manga allpa. To make it, the fish is boiled in salty water. The cooked carachama is accompanied with chili, yucca and cooked banana.

Ingredients 

1 kg of carachama

2 liters of water

2 chili peppers

2 cloves of garlic

Cilantro

Salt to taste

Preparation

1. We wash the carachama and chop it in half, then we put everything in a pot and boil it in a pot for 20 minutes.

2. Followed by this, add the garlic, coriander, and chili peppers and cook for 10 more minutes.

Carachama can also be found in other typical dishes such as:

Sweaty carachama: The sudado consists of a dressing of garlic, onion, coriander, tomato and yellow pepper, where fish is cooked. Depending on the area where it is prepared, chicha de jora or wine or pisco is usually added. It is served with cooked yucca.

Roasted carachama: This dish is accompanied by roasted or cooked banana and cocona aji
