Peruvian Garlic Recipes

Peruvian cooking is one of the world's most exciting — fusing Andean, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese techniques with bright citrus and vivid ají chillies. When Peruvian cooks work with garlic, they reach for ají chillies, lime, garlic, coriander and red onion, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are boiling, simmering, marinating and sautéing.

The aromatic foundation of savoury cooking almost everywhere — pungent raw, sweet and mellow when cooked. In this collection it's most often cooked with aji amarillo paste, red onion, onion, fine sea salt, ground cumin and fresh cilantro. The dishes here span peruvian classics ready in as little as 15 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
