Citrus Ceviche

My take on the classic Peruvian ceviche. The acidity of the citrus fruit 'cooks' the fish. A nice refreshing meal on a hot summer day. It's imperative to use only freshly caught fish!

This is a deliciously light, fruity dessert that works well for summer picnics or even between cake layers. My Peruvian mother-in-law was kind enough to give me this recipe, and I thought you might like it, as well.

Peruvian Lomo Saltado

Submitted by: Perricholi 
This is a traditional Peruvian dish made with sliced beef, hot chiles, and French fries. It is a very easy dish to make. I might add that it's very popular with finicky kids and adults as well. 

Pisco Sour

Living In: La Molina, Lima, Peru
Pisco is a style of brandy common to Peru and Chile which has a bit of a tequila flavor. The egg white gives this tangy drink a smooth, full body. Don't forget the bitters, they're the secret ingredient!

Peppers, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, and chicken stock are simmered with quinoa in this delicious, traditional Peruvian soup. There are a lot of ingredients, but it is worth the work!

If you love beets, (which I didn't till I tried this) you'll love this! My Peruvian mother-in-law taught me how to make this extraordinary recipe! It goes great with fried chicken, but I usually make it when I make my Puerto Rican arroz con pollo. My husband refuses to eat chicken if I don't include this salad. 

Spicy Peruvian Pork

Submitted by: Kimber 
This different pork flavor is delicious served over rice and has always been met with praise. The spices in the marinade can stain, so I use a metal bowl to do the marinating in (also wear an apron!). DO TRY! 

Suspiro a la Limea

This is a traditional Peruvian dessert, so sweet it hurts and so delicious it is a blessing that one can find the ingredients to make it anywhere in the world.
