Aji de Gallina


This dish is Peruvian comfort food at its very best. It’s basically a Peruvian chicken curry, only with some pretty luxurious ingredients.


Moist, juicy chicken breast is shredded and enveloped in a sauce comprising milk, evaporated milk, parmesan cheese, bread, pecans and aji Amarillo (yellow chilli), served with rice, hard boiled egg and olives. The flavours range from sweet to earthy, spicy to creamy, yet as a dish it somehow tastes so simple, as if it were somehow made of the simplest ingredients around. Inka Grill (www.cuscorestaurants.com on the Plaza de Armas)  in Cusco does a pretty good rendition of it.
