Ingredients: ½ pound fresh taro root, peeled; 2 cups neutral oil for frying; ¼ pound smoked mackerel fillet, flaked; 2 spring onions, charred and sliced thin; 1 tablespoon capers, fried until crispy; 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped; 1 roasted red pepper (jarred is fine); 2 dried red chilies (arbol or guajillo); 2 cloves garlic; 3 tablespoons neutral oil for ají rojo; 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar; sea salt and cracked black pepper

Translucent taro slices fried until they shatter and curl naturally into cup shapes, holding a cool salad of flaked smoked mackerel, charred spring onion, crispy capers, and fresh cilantro. A drizzle of ají rojo oil (roasted red peppers and dried red chilies) adds heat, color, and a mysterious smoky depth that transforms the simple filling.
