Bolivian Cookbook: Traditional Recipes from Bolivia | 
For #Bolivia #FoodandLit, I made sopa de manà (Bolivian boiled peanut soup, normally with meat, but mine was all veggie)
based on https://boliviancookbook.com/soups/sopa-de-mani/ Sorry the pictures and collage are a bit rubbish this month...
It is served with a tomato, cilantro, oregano & chili salsa, and topped with fries (that got cheers in my house!) ⬇

Dilara Opinions were divided. 1 of us liked it. I was disappointed. I thought it was a bit 1-note, and I think maybe I am not a fan of mixing cilantro and oregano? Oh well, better luck next time! 3w
Soscha I was going to ask how it was. I‘m meh on veggie dishes that taste bland. 3w
Texreader I love seeing all the dishes!! And I also liked hearing the family‘s reviews! 😂 3w

Dilara @Soscha It wasn't bland as such, but I think if I make it again, I'll add a bit of lime juice to the salsa to give it a bit of a lift, and omit the oregano (personal preference - it sort of overpowered everything and fought with the cilantro). And also, I'd use a chili that has a bit of heat to it. 3w
Dilara @Texreader Thanks! 😊 3w
Dilara I had the leftovers for lunch today, with a fresh batch of fries. The soup had mellowed and was much nicer. I added a bit of lemon juice and sriracha sauce to the salsa (I hope it's not too much of a blasphemy!) A much more pleasant experience 😊 3w
