Does anyone have any authentic Peruvian recipes? Thanks!?

Answer 1

I have several Peruvian cookbooks. Are you looking for something easy, or something unique, an entree or a dessert?

On www.peru.com, click on the gastronomica link. There are always several recipes (But, they are in Spanish)

One of the trademark dishes of Peru is ceviche. It is made with any of several kinds of seafood, and it is "cooked" by the acidic reaction of the fish with lime juice. For a basic variety that most Americans would like, I recommend ceviche de camarones, or shrimp ceviche.

Take the shells off about 1 pound of shrimp. Slice some onion (preferably red onion) into thin strips. Slice some hot peppers into thin slices (jalapenos work well for this) Use an amount that matches your tolerance for heat. Mix the onions and chiles and shrimp with about 1 1/2 cups of lime juice.

Ceviche is traditionally served on a leaf of lettuce and accompanied with some cooked corn on the cob and a piece of cooked sweet potato about the size of a large egg.

Answer 3

Chicken in Coca-cola


2 chicken breasts
1 teaspoon instant minced garlic (to taste)
1 white onion
2 potatoes
3 carrots
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 bay leaf
1 (750 ml) can Coca-Cola

Melt the butter/margarine in the pot at medium heat.
Add the garlic.
Once the garlic is browning, add your chicken pieces.
When chicken is lightly browned on both sides, add the onions diced.
Once onions are almost fully cooked, add the oxtail soup.
Stir lightly to spread the oxtail over the chicken pieces, then add half the can of coke and continue stirring at medium heat.
Boil your potatoes and carrots (seperately) in the meantime.
When the sauce has begun to thicken, add the potatoes and carrots cut into bite sizes.
Simmer at low-medium heat.
Add the bay leaf.
Taste it, if it's too sour still, add a bit more coke.
Serve warm over a bed of rice or pasta.

Answer 6

Any potato recipe can be considered "auhentic" Peruvian, since that's where potatoes came from!
