gastronomia peruana

1. the most important part of Peru

2.  Peruvian gastronomy is the ideal excuse to tour Peru and discover the dishes that
characterize each of its places and regions. Its culinary history dates back to the Inca
culture .Peruvian gastronomy is a celebration of Peru. A country with an ancient
tradition and a promising future that does not lose sight of its roots and where the art
of good eating stands out among its inhabitants as one of the most distinctive signs of
its identity.
Lima has been declared the gastronomic capital of America thanks to the breadth and
exquisiteness of dishes overwhelmingly approved by the most prestigious chefs and
specialists on the subject. Peru has been designated as the best culinary destination in
the world

3.  Ceviche: We start the list with what is, possibly, the most emblematic dish in
the country. And no one can resist the fresh flavor of a good plate of ceviche.
Made with raw fish, onion, paprika and sweet potato, among other
ingredients and, depending on taste, seafood, it is bathed with citrus
dressings that only highlight the flavor.
Ceviche is definitely one of those dishes that once you try it, you will want to
repeat it again and again.

4.  Lomo saltado: Now we move on to a dish loved by all Peruvians and that we
undoubtedly recommend to anyone who visits our country for the first time.
As its name indicates, the loin is sautéed in a pan until it is properly cooked,
along with a little vinegar and some spices, and then it is accompanied by
French fries and rice.
Lomo Saltado is a dish whose origin dates back to the arrival of the Chinese-
Cantonese to Peru in the 19th century, who finished perfecting this exquisite
dish that palates from all over the world seek to try as soon as they set foot on
Peruvian soil.

5.  Ají de gallina : Adding to this topic, we have Ají de Gallina. A dish that
consists of a cream with shredded chicken breast and accompanied by
cooked potatoes or white rice. It should be noted that whenever this dish is
served to the table it receives the highest praise from those who try it.
Ají de Gallina is without a doubt one of those dishes that anyone who plans to
attend or be close to the Lima 2019 Pan American Games celebrations should
try.

6.  Pachamanca: Now let's go to an ancient dish considered Cultural Heritage of
the Nation: Pachamanca. The name comes from the Quechua words “Pacha”
which means “earth” and “manka” which means “pot”, which leads us to
understand that its meaning would be “Pot of Earth”.
And it describes very well the way this dish is cooked. Where food is cooked
through contact with hot stones inside a hole dug underground. It is definitely
a dish worth trying if the excuse is the Lima 2019 Pan American Games.

7. If there is something that gives Peruvians an irresistible weakness, it is
undoubtedly the passion and taste they have for their sweets. As we know,
Peru is the birthplace of great stews and desserts are no exception. This special
bond originated in the 16th century with the arrival of the Spanish
conquistadors to the American continent, who brought with them inputs such
as sugar cane and wheat, as well as cattle and goats.
This meant a great discovery for the ancient Inca settlers, who barely perceived
the sweet taste of fruits such as lucuma and cherimoya. This is how new
products such as sugar, flour and milk emerged, which were used to prepare
countless and exquisite desserts, allowing the birth of Peruvian pastries, as
unique as they were appreciated.

8.  Suspiro a la limeña:As traditional as it is exquisite, the Suspiro draws
attention not only for its particular name, but also for its presentation.
Served in small glasses, one can imagine the magnitude of its flavor when
contemplating the layered mixture between the manjar blanc and the syrup-
based meringue. An explosion on the palate that is sometimes accompanied
with a cup of iced tea or a glass of pisco so that the delight is greater. The
origin of this sweet dates back to the beginning of the 19th century.
Its unique and special name was born thanks to the Peruvian writer José
Gálvez Barrenechea who, upon discovering its flavor, described it as a "soft and
sweet sigh of a woman." Phrase that perfectly symbolizes the effect that occurs
when trying it.

9.  Arroz con leche : Perhaps the most representative dessert of Peru. The rice
pudding and the purple mazamorra separately, or together as the delicious
combination called the “classic” in reference to the greatest rivalry in
Peruvian soccer, . Arroz con leche is made with rice and sugar, and is served
with sprinkled cinnamon or vanilla. While the purple mazamorra is prepared
with purple corn (Peruvian superfood) concentrated with starch, this dessert
is served much more in October, during tributes to the Lord of Miracles.
The purple mazamorra and Arroz con leche are the best sellers in Lima, almost
everywhere there are stands of thembination is part of the tradition of Afro-
Peruvian cuisine.

10.  Queso helado: Its birth is located in the colonial era. This sweet has won the
hearts and palates of Peruvians and foreigners thanks to its refreshing flavor.
The paradoxical thing about cheese ice cream is that, contrary to what it
might seem, its recipe does not include cheese, but rather a set of ingredients
where cow's milk predominates. Nowadays, the ingenuity of many chefs has
created new ways of drinking it that include pisco, whiskey, coffee and
various fruits.
The traditional way of making it is on a wooden barrel filled with ice, in which
a metal tank is placed to which the milk is added so that it freezes. This
remains impregnated on the walls of the dish, forming layers that, when
served, have the appearance of white cheese. Hence the name of this exquisite
dessert, whose preparation today is similar to that of any other type of ice
cream.
