Lomo Saltado
Lomo Saltado is a famous Peruvian stir-fry dish that originated from Chinese immigrants in Peru. Chinese Peruvian fusion cuisine in Peru is known as chifa which comes from the Chinese words “chi fan” meaning “to eat.” Chifa uses Chinese techniques (stir-fry) and ingredients (soy sauce & oyster sauce) and applies them to local ingredients (potatoes, beef loin). Lomo Saltado literally means “jumped loin” – beef tenderloin stir-fried over high flame (“jumped”) with onions and vegetables.
Pollo a la Brasa
One of the better known Peruvian dishes in the US, Pollo a la Brasa is a roasted / rotisserie chicken packed with Peruvian flavors with influences of the Chinese and Japanese communities. The key to this recipe is the intense flavored green sauce, Aji Verde, that accompanied the roasted chicken.
Papa Rellena
Who doesn’t like fried stuffed mashed potatoes? There are so many countries with their own versions of stuffed mashed potatoes - croquetas from Spain, croquettes from France, aloo tikki from India, korokke from Japan, crocchette from Italy, and of course, Papa Rellena from Peru. Papa Rellena is a great comfort food that kids of all ages will love.
