Description
Seco — the herb-braised preparations of northern Peru (Chiclayo, Trujillo) — uses large quantities of fresh coriander blended into a bright green paste as both the braising medium and the sauce. The coriander paste's vibrant green colour and intense fresh herb character provides a completely different flavour register from the browned, roasted preparations typical of European braising. The lamb is not pre-browned — the fresh coriander paste would darken and lose its colour on any hot surface.
