Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
-
Mash the cooked potatoes in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the chopped spinach, red onion, yellow chili paste, and lime juice. Mix well to combine.
-
To assemble the causa, use a small round mold or a clean can with the top and bottom removed. Place a layer of mashed potatoes at the bottom of the mold, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
-
Next, add a layer of the spinach mixture on top of the mashed potatoes, followed by a layer of sliced hard-boiled eggs and avocado.
-
Repeat the layers until the mold is full, ending with a layer of mashed potatoes on top.
-
Carefully remove the mold to reveal the beautiful layers of the causa. Repeat the process to make more individual servings.
-
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with a splash of lime juice to create a tangy dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the causas.
-
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color and extra flavor.
-
Serve the Vegetarian Causa with Spinach chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing and satisfying dish.
