Smart Eating #3 Peru Englisch

46 47
Ají Verde is normally served with fried chicken, grilled
meat, rice and beans, but it is also a perfect accompaniment
to eggs, potato salad or anything that can do with a little
extra flavour.
We found out one thing in the search for the perfect Peruvian "ají verde" recipe:
Every restaurant and every Peruvian has their own version!
No two taste the same, but they all have certain things in
common: coriander, pepperoncino, garlic and mayonnaise. Some
people add vinegar instead of lime juice, some use quark
cheese instead of mayonnaise, others use ají amarillo (which
is not easy to find here) or even add a little mustard or
red onions.
We think our smart version with a little bit of Parmesan is a
super variant, and not only for low-calorie eaters.
