just back from an awesome trip in Peru, " Land of the Incas" according to Discovery channel . The food was completely different from what I had ever had... Indian, Mexican, Thai, American.... this is avocado stuffed with chicken in green sauce. The chicken was lightly steamed and tossed with salt and pepper and the green sauce tasted like it was made of coriander and spinach.
We ( me and hubby R) also had a really great dish called Papa Relleno which is potato stuffed with meat. The boiled potato was cut in half, stuffed with a boiled egg, some dates and raisins, and the minced meat. It was then breaded and deep fried , and served with a really hot, kicking chilli hot salsa verde!!! sorry no pictures, but it all looked so goo
d i did not want to cut it open.This is roasted Andean corn served with little bits of cheese, made in Peru. The corn was realllly yummy and was tossed with salt and cayenne pepper, the cheese complimented it with its milder and mellower flavor.
Dinner at " Ami Manera" a restaurant in Cuzco... chicken with mole sauce , rice served with spinach and the same local cheese mentioned before and chicken stew served with yucca.... so delicious.
