This week we are raffling off a big box of Peruvian foods donated by Rojas International, a Connecticut-based company that imports ingredients from Peru. The box includes pepper pastes, whole grains, corns, spices, and a Panetone bread and hot chocolate to keep you warm for the holidays. We used their Mama Tina Aji Amarillo (Yellow Pepper Paste) for our Papas a la Huancayina, which gave it a sublime yellow color and slightly spicy taste. It is also one of the staples of traditional ceviche. I am jealous of whoever gets the quinoa. One of my nutrition teachers once said about the nutritious whole grain "If it was good enough for the Incas it is good enough for me". Very well put!
