 Dahlia (Washington) says:
Jake: I really appreciate the effort but I am peruvian and I have never, ever eaten this in Peru--for one thing, we never use jars of salsa in our cooking and the cornstarch is definitely not in our cooking (except for deserts that is). Nevertheless, this is probably very good--just not a peruvian dish.
