Students prepare a traditional Peruvian dish (lomo saltado) and one dessert (alfajores)
Authored By:
CIEE HS Language & Culture Program in Pisac, Perú (Session II) - Student participants prepared lomo saltado (a kind of stir-fried beef with onions, vinegar, ginger, chili pepper, tomatoes and fried potatoes). The original recipe is served with rice, but we wanted to take a break of it, as many Peruvian dishes come with it. The group also baked alfajores (Peruvian sandwich cookies with a filling of dulce de leche). Both Ceci (program coordinator) and Dalila (lead instructor) shared the recipes in this adventurous culinary experience, which was a delight for all present, including program leaders, Teresa and Cristo. Parents, make sure to ask your son or daughter to show you how to make these dishes at home.
