Ica Gastronomy
Despite its nearness, its cuisine is very different from the one in Lima. The typical dishes include: Green Lima beans (type of long bean). Morusa (mashed lima beans with roast beef) Picante de pallares (spicy casserole based on lima beans, milk, eggs and soft unripened cheese).
Carapulcra (sun-dried potato casserole style with pork and chicken, panca and mirasol chili, garlic and other species). Tejas (traditional dessert made of dried up lemon and raisings stuffed with "manjarblanco" (milk jam) and nuts and covered with caramel and a sugar dressing). Cachina (spirit made from fermented grape must). Pisco (brandy originated in Peru distilled from the fermented juice
of grapes). Chapanas (sweets made of cassave meal and brown sugar-loaf).
