What are some of the difference between American and Peruvian cuisine??
Im doing a spanish project and i have to find out some foods from peru and tell how its different from American food…please don’t tell me to go to wikipedia.org…please give me a specific site or if u kno alot about peru food, just tell me…thanks!
My ex-husband was from Peru and I have several recipes I can bring in tomorrow…ones that don’t involve nasty ingredients you’re not likely to find in the local supermarket…such as guinea pig…yuck..A “pachamanca” (translated to “dirt-kettle” ) is like a May Pole festival. There is a giant pole with ribbons that they dance around. There were dancing horses and lots of music. The one I went to was like an East Coast Crab boil…big pit, hot rocks and coals…food wrapped in foil packets (banana leaves not that easy to come by in Colorado) and it was delicious…kind of like a crock pot stew when done. It was beef, pork and chicken all together. I’ve found that most meals come with similar basics. Lots of garlic, cumin, boiled eggs and boiled potatoes and we ate everything with steamed white rice. I have a recipe for AJI DE GALLINA which is a chicken in a spicy nut sauce..yummy…..Loma Saltado (sp?) Marinated beef & onion strips sauted with fresh tomatoes and served over rice and home fries….(marinated heavily in garlic, cumin, sherry), Papa Rellenas….a dry mashed potato mixture formed into little balls that are stuffed with a meat, raisin mixture then sauted….I can bring the recipes in tomorrow if you’re interested and email them to you. I’ll have to put in a word doc first…so…click on my profile for the email address..then email me and I can send. Hope this helps. Pamela
ps…my husband grew up in one of those shanty towns outside of Lima you see on documentaries. They survived for years on oats, rice and yams. He was 15 before he knew that hot water actually came from a tap. They eat less meat than they do carbs. It’s about the poverty. Sometimes they went days with nothing at all. There is a site I found here that might help now: http://www.i12cook.com/html/stuffed_potato_recipe.html
