Ajiaco Colombiano

The origins of ajiaco are heavily debated, but we discovered it through a friend from Bogota who swears by it as a cure-all. The main event here is guascas, a plant that grows in the Andes Mountains of Colombia and is referred to as the 'gallant soldier' in English-speaking countries. This distinctive, herbaceous stew is full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that strengthen the immune system and aid in disease prevention.
