Description
Seco — a class of Peruvian stews defined by a specific green coriander (cilantro) purée that forms the braising liquid — is one of the foundational Criolla preparations. The cilantro is blended to a smooth paste and used as a braising medium, producing a deep green stew with an intensely herbal, slightly bitter character that no other herb can produce.
