Notes about Recipes in this book

• Octopus in olive sauce (Pulpo al olivo)

  • Charlotte_vandenberg on March 14, 2021

    I simmered the octopus in salted water, the recipe just says ‘simmer’. And I added a little garlic to the olive sauce.

• Peruvian beef stir-fry (Lomo saltado)

  • Charlotte_vandenberg on August 08, 2017

    Easy and very tasteful, served with white rice and salad. 150 ml of soy sauce seemed really a lot, however ended up using approximately 100 ml. Taste was not too salty.

    Amazing meat dish! I also hesitated to put in so much soy sauce, but it worked out great. Flavours are intense and it was very easy to make. Everyone loved it! Served it with grilled asparagus and rice.

    Delicious!

• Andean pork & potato casserole (Carapulcra)

  • Charlotte_vandenberg on October 11, 2022

    This was a very nice dish, we’ll try spicier chilies next time. Served with rice and mixed greens.

  • Stephenn31 on February 03, 2025

    This was really good, and I'd definitely make again. I made it with little potatoes and it worked well.

• Carmela's chicken (Pollo de mi tía Carmela)

  • Stephenn31 on February 11, 2026

    This was easy and delicious. It came together quickly.

• Chicken & crispy potato stir-fry (Pollo saltado)

  • Stephenn31 on November 07, 2022

    Delicious! I served over quinoa instead of rice as I had rice last night. I added some extra soy sauce and lime at the end to make it a bit saucier

• Confit duck with green rice (Arroz con pato)

  • Stephenn31 on November 16, 2023

    Was ok but don’t know if I’d make again. I did it with chicken instead of duck but the green rice itself was just ok despite the steps / work to make it

  • catmummery on August 11, 2024

    I used confit duck in fat that was already done, just roasted. The rice was lovely; the dish takes some time to make and next time I would add more chilli as was quite muted but very tasty.

• Peruvian rice (Arrocita)

  • Stephenn31 on February 03, 2025

    I cooked for a bit longer than the recipe called for, and the rice was still a bit tough. But nice flavour with the cumin.

• Tomato & red onion salad (Ensalada de tomate y cebolla)

  • Stephenn31 on January 02, 2024

    A nice simple tomato salad

• Amarillo chilli sauce

  • lorloff on January 01, 2024

    We made this to go with Bolivian empanadas and it was really great. We use ground ahi amariallo we had imported from Peru and Greek dried oregano. I really winner. Used a smaller amount of red wine vinegar and added some lime juice. Highly recommended will make again. We will be looking for more things to eat this with.

• Salsa criolla

  • Stephenn31 on November 16, 2023

    Easy side/veg to lighten up the meal
