A "pachamanca" cooks slowly away while the baking is done. Traditionally cooked outside and under the earth, the pachamanca consists of meats and vegetables cooked slowly together on a bed of coriander - a traditional favorite among those of the provinces of Peru. Señora María had prepared this treat to share with those who were present at the inauguration of the oven.
