Peruvian cuisine is known for its bold flavors and diverse ingredients. A national dish, ceviche, features raw fish marinated in citrus juices and spiced with chili. Lomo saltado, a stir-fry combining beef, onions, and tomatoes, reflects Chinese influence. Aji de gallina, a creamy chicken dish, and pisco sour, a tangy cocktail, are also popular. Peru’s rich variety of potatoes and corn play a central role in its meals and traditional dishes.
