...especialmente en la Semana Santa de Moche, ... La variedad de sabrosos potajes que hay en La Libertad ha despertado la preocupación de los investigadores, pues hay el riesgo de que la preparación de estos platos se olvide con los años. www.elcomercioperu.com.pe/EdicionImpresa/Html/2007-03-19/ImEcNacional0691714.html - 23k - En caché - Páginas similares |
Soups Caldo de Gallina (daily mornings & lunchtimes) is a nutritious soup from free range hens. Shambar (Monday lunchtimes) is a thick minestrone soup withh added gammon or pork rind. Patasca (Thursday lunchtimes) is a rich soup of beef from the hoof. Sopa teologa (Festivals) is a thick soup with different types of meat in a thick bread sauce. Main courses (segundos) Seco de Cabrito is stewed goat kid. It tastes like tender lamb or beef & is very well, but not excessively condimented. It is served with rice which is cooked just enough & not too much, & beans. It may not sound so exciting, but do not let yourself be distracted or someone else may walk off with your meal. Duck stew & turkey (Pepián de pavo) are both typical dishes of the Moche Valley. Duck is served with rice grown in the departments of Lambayeque & La Libertad with irrigation from Cajamarca´s Jequetepeque Valley. Snacks Humitas are made of fresh corn, steamed in corn leaves & filled with cheese from Cajamarca, or chicken. Papa rellena is boiled mashed potato filled with beef & lightly oven browned. Desserts & Cakes are also available. Peruvian Coffee Peru is the world's largest exporter of organic coffee, according to Brazilian statistics. Chanchamayo has a reputation for the best coffee, which is grown in the high jungle. In Trujillo we have it freshly ground for you, pouring a little boiling water over it at intervals to produce an essence. It will all get drunk very quickly, & is much better when it is fresh. Unfortunately none of the travel guide books tell you this, or what it is called. Here it is called cafe pasado, & is prepared with purpose-built filters/jugs. If we serve this, most foreign tourists eye it suspiciously & stick to instant coffee & condensed milk. Locals receive fresh milk & boil it, but most people here do not take milk in their coffee. For black coffee they simply ask for cafe. In other countries they call it cafe simple, cafe cortado & a thousand other names. Cafe con leche will often bring you the jug of hot milk & essence. Fresh ground coffee is healthier for you, as it lacks the conservatives that also keep it longer in your liver.
