This is a variation of the traditional Peruvian Seco dish that’s contained in my cookbook, Peruvegan. I came up with this dish after pondering what type of Peruvian dish I was going to make for my gluten-free friends. This version removes the seitan (making it gluten-free), and replaces it with Portobello and Crimini mushrooms, and Japanese sweet potatoes.
