Llajua is a Bolivian chili sauce prepared from locotos (Capsicum pubescens) hot chili peppers, (Capsicum chinense) tomatoes and onions. Seasoning herbs are added, quirquiña (Bolivian coriander) in Cochabamba and wakataya (black mint) in the Altiplano and other valleys of Bolivia. It has a clean, cleansing effect on the palate, complementing creations from stews and soups to grilled meat.
