Sándwich de chola
In La Paz's southern neighbourhoods, women in bowler hats and pollera skirts sell sándwich de chola from riverside stalls on weekend afternoons: a soft round roll stuffed with slices of juicy roast pork, crackling, pickled carrot and onion, and a fiery locoto sauce. This recipe uses pork tenderloin so it is ready in under an hour, but leftover roast pork leg is just as authentic. The mistake people make is slicing the pork thick and dry; it should be thin, rosy and moist. Chef's tip: dip the cut side of each roll briefly in the roasting juices before filling.
