Aji de gallina (Peruvian chicken stew)

When I came back to London, I continued to learn to cook Peruvian food with my Peruvian friends and learnt where to source both fresh and dry produce in London. These days you can get a few ingredients over the internet. Lately, Peruvian food has taken centre stage in London. There are so many dishes I like but only a handful are known in the UK. My favourite dish is a Peruvian classic, Aji de Gallina. A dish with roots in the French revolution. At that time, chefs working for the affluent families lost their jobs and some migrated to the new world. Wealthy Peruvian creole families employed them to show their wealth to the ruling Spaniards.
