A typical recipe for baked or barbequed cuy with a hot sauce:
# 3 or 4 cuys
# 50 grams of ground toasted corn, or cornmeal
# 2 kilos of parboiled potatoes, cut in slices
# 8 cloves of garlic
# 6 fresh hot peppers, either red or yellow
# ½ cup oil
# ½ cup water
# salt, pepper and cumin to taste
Rub the cuys with a mix of the pepper, salt, pepper and cumin and bake or fry. You can also skewer over a barbeque.
Prepare a sauce with the oil, peppers, garlic and cornmeal with the water from the potatoes or broth. Cook a few minutes until the peppers are cooked. When tender, place the meat in a serving dish and spoon the sauce over it. Serve with the boiled potatoes.
this is what a cuy looks like... if you live in NY or MIA you should have no problems finding it... just go to any Ecuadorian or peruvian store:
