For the ultimate Peruvian food (comida peruana) experience there are 12 foods you must eat while visiting Peru, especially in Lima and Cusco. Since spending some time in Lima, Peru and Cusco, Peru we can certainly validate Peru as having some of the best food in the world in our Peruvian Food vlog 2020. Being able to experience these 12 amazing foods was not only delicious, but a true experience. We also include some of the best Lima street food as well as, more broadly, Peru street food, in this Peru vlog (Peru 2020).
Note: There are a couple of dishes we wished we tried in Peru while we were there recently, but due to our schedule we didn’t have a chance to. The ones below with an * are the ones we didn’t have in Peru.
– Lomo saltado – A Chifu ( Chinese ) influenced main dish that has mixed well into the Peruvian everyday culture. Tasty beef stir fry that has all the right ingredients making it the perfect hearty dish.
– Ceviche – is the seafood dish originated in Peru typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, and spiced with ají, chili peppers or other seasonings including onions, salt, and cilantro. Pairs nicely with a crisp white wine.
– Ají de gallina *- A traditional and classic Peruvian food, and a dish nearly everyone loves is Ají de gallina, a chicken stew. We didn’t get to try this dish in Peru but we did have it at a small traditional Peruvian restaurant by a chef from Lima Peru when we got back to Austin, TX. Pairs nicely with a cold Peruvian cerveza
– Carapulcra (con Sopa Seca con Arroz Verde) – Afro Peruvian cuisine stew of pork and dehydrated potatoes, with peanuts, aji panca and mirasol peppers, garlic, and other spices like clove.
– Alpaca – Some of the healthiest and most flavorful meats in the world. A mild meat which takes on the flavor of the dish. It is slightly salty, lean, high in protein with no fatty after taste.
– Cuy – alternately called Cobayo or conejillo de indias is a guinea pig. Taste like rabbit or chicken. Though difficult to accept for people in other countries who regard guinea pigs as pets, the cuy is a staple of Andean cuisine.
– Anticuchos – *Grilled Beef cow heart. It’s a traditional Peruvian dish that date back to the 16th century.when they were first encountered by the Spanish conquistadors. Generally served on skewers and grilled on an open fire with incredible spices.
– Causa Limeña * – basically a layered potato chicken salad. If you like chicken or tuna salad, you’ll love this dish. This wasn’t our favorite. Very tasty but just reminded us of that chicken salad that mom made.
Desserts
– Alfajores – soft, delicate cookies made from cornstarch. What hold the cookie together is a creamy Dulce de leche. Topped with a little powdered sugar.
_ Picarones – Peruvian dessert that originated in Lima. It’s main ingredients are squash and/or sweet potato. It is served in a doughnut form and covered with chancaca syrup.
Drinks
– Pisco Sour – alcoholic cocktail of Peru. The name comes from pisco, which is its base liquor, and the cocktail term sour, in reference to sour citrus juice and sweetener components. It’s topped with an egg white layer.
– Chicha Morado – originated in the Andean regions of Perú and made from the purple corn
