Peruvian Huacatay is also known as “black mint” for its fresh aroma and taste.
Related to the marigold and native to the Andes Mountains, Huacatay is also often described as a blend of sweet basil, mint, lemon, and tarragon. A herbal delight!
Huacatay is indispensable when making Peruvian Chicken. Beef stews or creamy sauces will also benefit from its complex flavor. Mix a bit with cream or goat cheese and serve as a dip!
