Lima, Peru (Spanish arroz con pollo adapted with coriander-ají purée) · Peruvian — Rice & Grains
Served with tostones (twice-fried plantain) and salsa criolla (red onion, ají amarillo, lime) alongside; the vivid green is both visual and flavour — cilantro must be prominent.
{"Adding raw coriander purée to the stock: it must be sautéed first to cook out the raw note.","Insufficient coriander: a timid amount produces pale green rice.","Boiling the chicken instead of braising: the chicken pieces must remain intact and tender.","Covering the rice immediately before all liquid is absorbed: the rice steams unevenly."}
