Culinary Trends - Peruvian Cuisine | 
The Wall Street Journal recently profiled Peruvian cuisine, calling it "the next big food trend to land in America." Peru is a melting pot for Spanish, Japanese, African and Chinese cultures. These influences have created a vibrant and flavorful national food scene that features ingredients such as fresh seafood, citrus and the native Ají chile pepper. "This is the kind of food you can do very frequently and feel virtuous, healthy and sexy" says restauranteur Danny Meyer. Peruvian restaurants are popping up from New York City to Los Angeles. Zagat Survey estimates that it is listing four times more Peruvian restaurants today than compared to ten years ago. FoodMatch is no stranger to Peruvian-inspired cuisine. One of our most popular stuffed olives is a tender and buttery green olive that is stuffed with an authentic Peruvian Ají amarillo chile pepper. Versatile and complex, the Ají pepper is crunchy and sweet with a mild chile finish. We love to dice it into nachos and salsa, but you can also use it to make a homemade olive tapenade for fish and chicken or make a Peruvian-inspired pizza with clams, mussels, garlic and white wine. FoodMatch Item #54578 Green Olives stuffed w/ Ají Chile (2/5lb bags) Here are some traditional Peruvian dishes that feature Green Olives stuffed with Ají Chile: Ceviche - Bite size pieces of sea bass (or any white fish) marinated in lemon/lime juice, onions and diced Ají-stuffed olives. The acid from the citrus cooks the fish. Papa Rellena - Mashed potatoes rolled into balls and stuffed with ground meat, Ají-stuffed olives and spices. Cook in a deep fryer until crispy brown. Ají de Gallina - Shredded chicken cooked with a sauce of milk, onions, Ají-stuffed olives, garlic & spices. Served over rice. |
