Cabrito con Frijoles — street food from Lambayeque, Peru

Older recipes marinate the goat in chicha de jora and a touch of its own bile, a bitter addition cooks say balances the meat's richness.

Young goat is braised in a cilantro and chicha de jora sauce until tender, then served over stewed beans and rice. Chiclayo's market stalls sell generous portions for lunch.

Why it's made this way: Goat herding is common in Lambayeque's dry coastal hills, making cabrito one of the region's signature proteins alongside duck.
