Peruvian Arroz con Pollo (Peruvian Rice and Chicken) image

This is a Peruvian rice and chicken dish made with cilantro and a special Peruvian kick. It's very delicious, my Peruvian father-in-law said that mine was even better then his sister's - who is one of the best cooks in the family (besides my mother-in-law)! Goes great with Huancaina sauce and salsa Criolla.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in half
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
½ red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ bunches cilantro leaves, lightly chopped
1 tablespoon aji amarillo chile paste
½ cup chicken broth
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 ½ cups water, or more as needed
2 cups uncooked white rice
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom. Brown chicken in the hot oil on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove chicken onto a plate.
  • Pour more oil into the pan and add onion; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro, chile paste, salt, and pepper and saute until cilantro turns dark green, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a light simmer; let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture carefully to an electric blender and puree.
  • Heat more oil in the same pan over medium-high heat; saute bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes. Return cilantro mixture to the pan and add chicken. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the pan. Add water and rice, adding more water if it doesn't look like enough. Bring to a boil; place a lid on the pan, reduce heat to low, and cook until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 40 minutes. Stir in peas and carrots and chicken and warm through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Arroz Tapado - Rice on Top Peruvian Beef Dish image

Delicious, filling, adaptable rice with beef, panca peppers, tomato, onion, and seasoning.

Provided by Eat Peru

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 22

500 g. beef (ground or finely chopped)
3 tablespoons oil
1 red onion (90 g.)
2 cloves garlic
2 panca peppers
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup raisins
3 boiled eggs
10 black olives (seeded)
A sprig of coriander
Salt to taste
2 cups rice (320 g.)
4 1/2 cups of water (1 l.)
1 large carrot (diced, 150 g.)
1 cup peas
3 tablespoons oil
Salt to taste
2 ripe plantains
12/ cup oil
4 eggs
Parsley to taste

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add the oil, the carrot cut into pieces, the salt, and the rice. Stir everything, and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Then add the water, and raise the temperature to the maximum. Cook uncovered for about seven minutes until the water on the surface of the rice has evaporated.
  • Then add the peas, stir a little, maximum of two turns to avoid breaking the rice, and continue to cook covered for an additional five to seven minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the meat.
  • Peel the onion and chop it finely. Peel the garlic and mash it. Remove the stems from the chili, scoop out the seeds, and cut them into small pieces. Cut the eggs into small pieces too, as well as the olives.
  • In a bowl, place the meat and season with the cumin, tomato paste, salt, and crushed garlic. Let it rest for about five minutes.
  • In a saucepan, put the three tablespoons of oil over medium heat. When it is bubbling, add the onion and the minced panca peppers. Cook for about three minutes until the onion turns translucent.
  • Add the seasoned meat and sauté with the vegetables for about five minutes.
  • When the meat loses its pink color, add the olives and raisins. Lastly, add the chopped eggs, and the coriander (cilantro). Stir and turn off.
  • To assemble the covered rice, you will need a round bowl, about four inches in diameter. Brush with oil so it comes off easily when serving. Then, place about four large tablespoons of the rice that you prepare and distribute it over the base of the bowl, then compress it with a spoon, until it is compact and uniform.
  • When the first layer of rice is sufficiently compacted, add about four tablespoons of beef stew. Compact again with the spoon
  • Then put more rice on top, compacting in the same way.
  • To flip, place a plate on top of the bowl and center it, or if you want to serve fried plantains on the side, place it on the side.
  • Hold the plate, and firmly turn it over. The covered rice will remain on the plate.
  • Remove the cup very carefully so that the covered rice does not collapse.
  • The garnishes for this dish are fried, and you can fry them in the same pan, using the same oil. Peel the plantains cut them in two crosswise, and then each banana half into three slices.
  • Fry the plantains, about three minutes on each side. Place two or three slices of plantain per plate. Then fry the eggs, and put a scrambled egg on top of each covered rice. Garnish with a little parsley and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your Peruvian meat and rice dish will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful meat and vegetables, and use a good quality rice.
  • Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and oregano is a good place to start.
  • Cook the rice separately: To ensure that the rice is cooked evenly, cook it separately from the meat. This will also help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the food from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the meat, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the meat over medium heat: Cooking the meat over medium heat will help to prevent it from becoming tough.
