THE QuEEn OF PACHAMAMA<br />

La reina de la pachamama<br />

Papa<br />

A tuber with many shapes and colours, the potato<br />

is, together with the chili pepper, another important<br />

ingredient in Peruvian cuisine. Domesticated eight<br />

thousand years ago in the Andes and with more than<br />

3,000 varieties, they are served daily with a wide<br />

variety of ingredients. The potato, which today is the<br />

fourth most important crop in the world, is eaten<br />

boiled, fried or baked and served with the widest<br />

range of sauces that Peruvian chefs can concoct using<br />

local produce.<br />

Tubérculo de variadas formas y colores, la papa es, junto<br />

con el ají, otro gran protagonista de la comida peruana.<br />

Domesticada hace ocho mil años en los Andes y con más<br />

de 3 mil variedades, los peruanos la servimos a diario<br />

con los más diversos ingredientes. A la papa, que hoy<br />

es el cuarto cultivo de mayor producción en el mundo,<br />

la honramos comiéndola hervida, frita o con cáscara,<br />

y embadurnándola con las más atrevidas salsas que el<br />

cocinero peruano ha ideado a partir de sabores locales.<br />
