Peruvian Rice 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 rice, they reach for ají chillies, lime, garlic, coriander and red onion, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, boiling, sautéing and steaming.

The everyday grain for half the planet — a neutral base that soaks up the flavours around it, from pilafs to fried rice. In this collection it's most often cooked with garlic, aji amarillo paste, onion, fresh cilantro, fine sea salt and neutral oil. The dishes here span peruvian classics ready in as little as 27 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
