To prepare the filling;

Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large skillet and brown the meat, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the meat from the skillet with a slotted spoon and put to one side.

In the same skillet sauté the finely chopped onion and tomato and the paprika. Cook on low heat for a couple of minutes and then return the meat to the skillet. Simmer all the ingredients together for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the hard- boiled egg and the olives.

Strain the potatoes well and when they are cool, peel them and finely mash them by pressing them through a sieve with the back of a spoon. Alternatively, you can use a ricer. Adjust seasoning , adding more salt if necessary, and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Work the mashed potato with your hand until it resembles a soft, smooth dough. Flour a work surface and your hands. Place about ½ cup of the potato mixture in the palm of your hand and carefully from a thin disc- shaped layer. In the center place about 1 tbsp of the filling . If you like , you can make larger ones after a bit of practice.

Carefully bring sides of the potato layer together to cover filling and form large croquettes. Dip each croquette in beaten egg and then coat with sifted flour. Heat ¼ cup of vegetable oil in a skillet and pan fry the croquettes until golden. Serve immediately with salsa criolla.

Top:

If you are not going to fry the croquettes immediately, do not dip in beaten egg, but rather dust with a fine coating of flour to keep them from becoming sticky.

Adobo de chancho

Ingredients:

2 lb(1kg)lean leg pork, cut into pieces

2tbsp achiote (annatto)seeds

2tbsp vegetable oil

6 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp ground cumin

¼ cup aji panca paste

2 red onions, chopped

1 cup chichi de jora (corn beer) or vinegar

Slat and freshly ground pepper

Preparation:

In a small bowl, combine achiote seeds with vegetable oil and let stand, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. Transfer to a small skillet and bring to a boil over low heat, while stirring. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. When cool, strain oil through a fine mesh muslin lined sieve.

Place the pork pieces in a large glass bowl. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and crushed garlic. Add onion and beer, or vinegar, to cover meat and marinate for 24 hours.

In a large, heavy based pan heat achiote oil and sauté aji panca paste over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the pork and the marinade. Cover and let cook over low heat until meat is fork tender, about 1 hour. Check the liquid level from time to time and add hot water if necessary. The adobo should be moist and juicy.

Serve over rice accompanied by sweet potatoes and pure de pallares.

Tip;

Achiote seeds can be found in most good markets or specialty food stores. They should be fresh, a bright reddish color, with a peppery aromatic flavor. Avoid any that are brown or burgundy, as they will have lost their flavor. Achiote oil can be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a year.

Arroz con pato

Ingredients:

4 duck quarters (thigh and drumstick)

2tbsp olive oil

2tsp freshly ground pepper

2tsp ground cumin

2 tsp crushed garlic

1 cup mirepoix

1bouquet garni

4 cups white wine or dark beer

8cup duck stock or 4 cups beef and 4 cups chicken stock

Peel and juice of 2 oranges

Salt

To make the rice:

½ cup olive oil

4 cups rice 2 red onions chopped fine

4tbsp crushed garlic

4 heaped tbsp aji Amarillo paste

1 large red bell pepper, peeled and diced

4 large bunches fresh cilantro leaves

1 cup fresh peas and 1 cup fresh corn kernels

2 cups beer

8 cups beef or chicken stock

Preparation:

Season the duck pieces with salt and the freshly ground pepper, cumin, crushed garlic and the peel and juice of the orange. Set aside to stand for 15 minutes.

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large heavy-based skillet or roasting pan. Seal the duck pieces thoroughly for about eight minutes each side, skimming off as much of the fat as possible. When they are well browned add the marinade juices plus the mirepoix and the bouquet garni. Add the wine or beer and reduce until about ¼ of the liquid remains.

Add the stock and bring back to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily (about 2 ½ hours). Add more stock when necessary to ensure that the duck pieces are always covered. When the duck is cooked, remove from the skillet and leave it to cool for a while in order to make it easier to bone. De- fat and strain the cooking liquid and reserve.

Wash cilantro leaves well, and blend in a mixer with a little water to make about one cup of puree. Reserve a few sprigs for garnishing.

In a large pan heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they just start to turn golden. Add the aji Amarillo and cilantro pastes, and season with salt and pepper. Add the rice and cook for a couple of minutes mixing to coat it well with the onion and seasonings. Then add the diced pepper. At this stage you can add corn kernels and peas if desired.

Add the beer and reduce until all the liquid has evaporated. Add, until rice is coverd by 2 cm, the stock and some of the reserved strained cooking liquid from the duck for extra flavor. Be sure to leave some of the duck pan juices for serving at the end. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to minimum and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes until the rice is cooked. When cooked, separate the grains gently with a fork.

To bone the duck pieces insert a sharp filleting knife behind the drumstick and cut away the meat following the line of the bone. Chop some of the meat into bite size pieces and combine with the rice. Slice the rest and reserve. To serve, place rice on a warmed plate, arrange the sliced duck on top and drizzle with the warm pan juices.

Lomo Saltado

Ingredients:

1tsp minced garlic

2 tsp finely chopped aji limo (optional)

Soy sauce

1 lb red onions, sliced

1 lbs plum tomatoes, sliced lengthwise into sixths, and seeded

2 lb large yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into sticks

3 ajies amarillos, sliced fine (available at most Latin stores. You can also use the paste if you prefer, or substitute with other hot peppers like Hungarian wax peppers or maybe even a smaller amount of Habanero)

6 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro

Pinch ground cumin

Red wine vinegar

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Oil for stir frying and deep frying.

Preparation:

Cut meat into ½ in(1 ¼ cm) wide strips or into gougeonettes.

Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large pan or wok and, over medium heat sauté garlic and aji limo for 2 minutes. Raise the heat, add meat and brown all over. The goal is to have the heat high enough to sear the meat, so you may have to cook in batches if your burner does not get hot enough. Season with salt, freshly ground pepper and a pinch of ground cumin.

Remove the meat form the pan along with the juices so as to keep it moist. Set aside.

Add a little more oil to the pan if necessary and stir- fry onion until barely soft, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add a bit of vinegar and continue stir- frying until it has evaporated, about another minute. The onion should still have some bite. Remove onion from the pan, set aside and repeat procedure with tomato.

In a separate skillet, deep fry potato slices until just slightly golden. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towel and season with salt to taste.

Return meat, onion and tomato to the wok. Add aji Amarillo, a bit of soy sauce, and beef broth (or bullion with water) and cook for ½ minute (flavor should not be watered-down). Finally add the large French fries and mix everything together carefully. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately, accompanied bye white rice.

Note:

The same recipe can be follow substituting crayfish tails, fillets or chicken fingers for the meat. If you're using chicken, you can use chicken bullion / broth instead of beef. Also, you use Aji Panca (red pepper paste from Latin stores) instead of aji amarillo.

Ok...I just sent you an anonymous post about making a comment and then realized that it doesn't post until you approve it anyway. I went to Peru several years ago and came across the book you were talking about in your blog. I got a wonderful recipe for lomo saltado from it and had written it down but never bought the book because it was very expensive. I'm wondering if your recipe is from the same book? It looks similar...I didn't want to post my question because I didn't want to get you in trouble for copyright infringement, or something. I'm not sure if leaving a comment as "google account" will allow you to see my email or how this is going to work but please don't post my comment. I don't like having my info online. Thank you!
