Also a great substitute for Huacatay leaves is a blend of mint, coriander, and basil -- it is a unique flavor. Furthermore, instead of just straight salt, cotija or feta cheese will work well and add to the creamyness. This recipe was a great base and like anything -- adjust it to your taste and make it your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-67600568869503741442010-06-23T14:04:11.255-07:002010-06-23T14:04:11.255-07:00Yes.
