Ají de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Chicken) with chicken breast, aji amarillo paste and walnuts — Peru recipe

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.

Ají Criollo with fresh ají amarillo, ají limo and huacatay leaves — Peru recipe

Sauces and Dips

Ají Criollo

Ají criollo is the emulsified chilli sauce that sits on every table in a Peruvian chicken house and next to every charcoal grill in Lima. Fresh ají amarillo is deveined and softened, fried with onion and garlic, then blended with fresh cheese and evaporated milk while oil is streamed in to build a thick, glossy emulsion, with huacatay and coriander folded in at the end for the herbal edge. It is a condiment rather than a cooking sauce: nothing is simmered in it, and it goes onto roast chicken, anticuchos, boiled potatoes and fried cassava after they leave the fire. Ají amarillo itself carries far more fruit than heat, so the sharpness in a good version comes from the ají limo added separately.

Pumpkin Pie with pumpkin, eggs and evaporated milk — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Sweet Dishes

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is an American custard tart: a spiced pumpkin filling baked inside a blind-baked butter crust, the standard dessert on the American and Canadian Thanksgiving table since the 19th century. The filling is a true custard, egg and dairy set by heat rather than a starch-thickened paste, which is why it needs a slow second bake and a slow cool. Warm spices, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove, carry the pumpkin rather than mask it, and dark brown sugar adds a faint molasses note under the sweetness. This version works with a can of pumpkin purée or with pumpkin roasted and blended from scratch, useful outside the US where the canned kind is hard to find. Active work is under 40 minutes; the dough needs an hour to chill and the baked pie another two to three to cool before it holds a clean slice.
