Ají de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Chicken)

Ají de gallina is one of Peru's most cherished comfort dishes — shredded poached chicken folded into a velvety golden sauce built on ají amarillo, the fruity yellow chili at the heart of Peruvian cooking. Milk-soaked bread and ground walnuts thicken it, while parmesan adds a salty, umami edge. Mildly spicy and rich, it's spooned over rice with boiled yellow potatoes, olives, and hard-boiled egg — a fusion of Spanish and Andean roots.

Anticuchos de Corazón

Anticuchos are skewers of beef heart marinated in ají panca, garlic, cumin and vinegar, then grilled over charcoal. They belong to the street corners of Lima, where the anticucheras set up braziers in the evening and serve them with a boiled potato, a piece of corn and a chilli sauce. The dish traces back to colonial Peru, when enslaved workers were given the offcuts that the Spanish kitchens discarded and applied a spiced-and-skewered technique to the heart, the cut closest in texture to muscle meat. Heart is dense, lean and mild rather than strong-tasting, and the entire difficulty lies in trimming it properly and taking it off the fire early. Marinating time comes on top of the stated time.

BBQ Baby Back Ribs (2-2-1 Method)

Baby back ribs are the most tender and lean rack cut in American barbecue — they come from where the pork loin meets the spine, producing shorter, curved bones with a generous layer of back loin meat. The 2-2-1 method — a modification of the classic 3-2-1 for the smaller baby back rack — divides the cook into three stages: 2 hours of open smoking to build bark and absorb smoke, 2 hours wrapped tightly in foil with butter, brown sugar, and apple juice to braise the collagen into gelatin and achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness, and 1 final hour unwrapped to set the BBQ sauce glaze into a lacquered, sticky finish. Temperature is 225°F (107°C) throughout. The result is ribs where the meat pulls cleanly from the bone with a gentle tug, carrying deep smoke ring, complex bark, and the sweet-savory caramelized BBQ glaze that defines American competition barbecue.

Beef Rendang

Voted the world’s best food by CNN Travel readers in 2011 — slow-braised beef in a rich aromatic paste of coconut milk, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, and spices, cooked uncovered for hours until every drop of liquid evaporates and the meat is coated in a dark caramelized crust. A labor of love from West Sumatra that gets even better the next day.
