Aguadito de Pollo is a light yet deeply savory chicken and rice soup brightened with a fresh cilantro base. Tender chicken, soft rice, sweet corn, peas, and potato make it hearty enough for a full meal while still feeling clean and comforting.

Seco de Cordero is a vibrant lamb stew with a silky, herbaceous cilantro sauce, gentle heat from ají amarillo, and a subtle tang from chicha de jora. In this faster version, tender lamb shoulder cooks with carrot and squash until richly coated in a fragrant green braise.
