It's vacation time, but before I leave I wanted to share with you a Peruvian recipe that is perfect for the summer. This dish is my favorite and my family in Peru loved it when I cooked it for them. Also super healthy and easy to prepare. The big star of this dish is our delicious Peruvian Aji Amarillo. The Peruvian pepper. Also called aji escabeche, it is one of the most characteristic and important ingredients of Peruvian cuisine. We make a Peruvian escabeche de pollo. Escabeche de pollo peruano receta
Peruvian escabeche de pollo
Peruvian escabeche de pollo is a kind of chicken marinade and it is a typical Peruvian dish. This dish is usually eaten as a cold starter. The longer it can rest, the more intense the flavor becomes. The escabeche marinade is a food preservation technique.
A cooking technique based on the introduction of a food in an acidic solution with vinegar and along with the aji amarillo. Together they make a fantastic combination that gives flavor to your dish.
This dish is not only delicious with chicken, but can also be easily prepared with fish. The method of preparation remains basically the same, only you replace the chicken with fish. This allows you to enjoy the same tasty herbs and spices, but with a different protein source that better suits your personal preference or diet.
I wish you a wonderful holiday, I follow my heart and my heart says “vamos a la playa” Hasta pronto!
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
