This week I am Cooking Chicken Chaufa
A taste trip down to South America was on the cards with this simple yet tasty and healthy Peruvian dish, aka their version of fried rice. I am thinking that as the Incas originated from South Asia, this is how some of their techniques came to end up in Peru. And they ate duck, cuy ( guinea pig ), llama and alpaca meat along with seafood. Now dont be looking at your pet guinea pig for this recipe, I have already said we are using the left over chicken.
