Fiesta Limena Peruvian Food

Doesn’t that dish look tasty? If you have never tried Peruvian food, Lomo Saltado is a great meal to start with. You can find this savory beef stir-fry in many Peruvian restaurants around the world.

The recipe starts with strips of sirloin steak that are marinated and infused with soy sauce and a variety of spices. They are then sauteed with tomatoes, onions, and parsley. The traditional way to serve Lomo Saltado is with both white rice and French fries. Although this combination may seem odd to some people, it is a perfect example of the fusion of Peruvian style and Chinese culinary traditions that started in the 19th century.

Well, we’re finally joining the cyberworld, and while you can’t taste our delicious Peruvian food from here, at least we can tell you about it. With this blog, we will share fascinating facts about Peruvian culture and cuisine, one post at a time. Hopefully we can entice you to come and see for yourself just how terrific Peruvian food is – we know you won’t be disappointed. It is unlike anything you’ve tasted before, although you will recognize European influences in our cream sauces, and Chinese flavors such as the soy sauce in our “chaufa”, a Peruvian version of fried rice. Peruvians have adapted their cooking techniques to include influences from many parts of the world, and the result is a wonderful fusion of flavors. We’ll post as often as we can, and we hope to see you soon in one of our restaurants!
