In Peru, this would usually be served as an appetizer and would be followed by numerous fish, meat and vegetable dishes. A big part of the culture is food and eating and celebrations.

The three staples of Peruvian cuisine are corn, potatoes and chilli peppers, although they have many influences from Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Italian cultures. This delightful dish is crunchy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. It can easily be served as a side to a main dish or a stand alone […]
This dish has as as little or as much heat as you want. Jalapeño’s have all their heat in the seeds and the membrane. So you can remove all or some of them, depending on how much heat you like. For a medium heat, leave the seeds in half a jalapeño and scrape the rest. […]
