Set aside.2Step 2: Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Add onions and fry for 2-3 minutes or until translucent. Add the aji panca and aji amarillo and fry for 1-2 minutes more.3Step 3: Stir in beans and rice and give them a rough mash with the back of your spatula. Push everything to one side of the pan, add the remaining olive oil to the pan and push the bean mixture overtop of it to give it a good fry, forming it into a long oval shape.4Step 4: Flip to cook on both sides until golden brown. Place a plate overtop of the pan, serving side down and flip the pan over with the plate to invert the tacu tacu onto the plate.5Step 5: Fry an egg in the leftover oil (add more oil if needed), pouring hot oil overtop to cook the whites but leave the yolk runny. Slide the egg on top of the Tacu Tacu and serve with the pickled onions. Enjoy!getsaucepan.com/r/a942ab5c-746d-4acc-83d5-524d9b1edd61 · Original: https://freshoffthestack.substack.com/p/tacu-tacu
