Chicken with Pinapple Sauce/Pollo con Piña
Peru has one of the most great cuisines of the world. It is the original fusion food, having influences from almost every continent over the last 500 years and combined them with ingredients and dishes that provide a direct link to the Incas. I most say that Peru is best known for ceviche, which is marinated raw seafood dish. Peru's food is remarkable for the diversity of ingredients, from wonderful fresh fish to astounding varieties of potatoes, corn and chilies, and for preparations that encompass the world, from stir-fried beef to pasta with shrimp.
One of my favorite type of Peruvian food is Chifa which means "to eat rice" in Mandarin. Chifa is the Peruvian term for Chinese food. Because many Chinese ingredients are hard to find in Peru, the Chinese modified their cuisine and incorporated many Peruvian elements (mainly Spanish, native and African) into their cuisine.
My favorite Chifa dish is Pollo con piña, I hope you guys enjoy as much as I do.
