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

Meat Dishes

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 with beef heart and ají panca paste — Peru recipe

🇵🇪PeruMedium

Meat Dishes

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.

Bacalhau à Brás (Portuguese Salt Cod with Eggs and Potatoes)

Bacalhau à Brás is a Portuguese dish of salt cod, matchstick potatoes and eggs, by tradition credited to a Lisbon tavern-keeper named Brás. The cod is soaked for 24 to 48 hours in the fridge (not counted in the time) and pulled into threads, the potatoes go in just before the eggs, and the eggs work as a binder — creamy rather than scrambled.

Baked Carp in Sour Cream (Ukrainian)

Baked carp in sour cream is a Ukrainian classic: a whole fish coated in a garlicky sour-cream layer on a bed of onions. Diagonal slashes along the sides let the sour cream and heat reach inside and soften the fine bones. The foil is left open on top so the skin browns while the flesh stays moist.
