Peruvian dish to the table

Aji de Gallina (female chicken) is a plate originally from Peru and cooked since the Inca Times. It is served over white rice and baby yellow potatoes. Even though this recipe is made with chicken you can cook it with beef, tuna etc, it 's up to your imagination. Some people like it really spice so you can add more Peruvian chili, aji.



Ingredients:

2 pounds skinless, bone-in chicken breast halves

1 onion, coarsely chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 cloves garlic

2 quarts water

1 loaf white bread, crusts removed and cubed

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup walnut pieces

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

2 teaspoons aji amarillo chile paste

2 teaspoons ground turmeric

4 hard-cooked eggs, sliced

1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and quartered
