Chanfaina Boliviana

South America — Bolivia

One of Bolivia's most important mixed-organ traditions. Liver, heart, and other organs cooked in a spiced sauce. Especially important in highland and festival cuisine.

Chanfaina traditionally incorporates lung in many Bolivian and Andean preparations. Lung is not a canonical in this dataset — cuts[] maps to liver and heart only.
