An underrated and incredibly delicious culinary destination in the world with unique exotic flavours, vibrant fresh produce and tantalising aromas is Peruvian cuisine. If you’re genuinely a foodie, you can’t not love those tangy chilli peppers, spicy jalapenos hard to pronounce but hard to forget herbs such Ají Amarillo, Huacatay and Muñasuch (I get tongue tied just tying to say them). These fiery, fresh, fragrant ingredients are the soul of Peruvian cuisine and the food rivals its worldly counterparts in terms of technique, complexity and flavour. Not to mention, a highly spirited culture.
A Peruvian Celebration of National Independence
And history lesson for the year, this month marks National Independence Day in Peru. Whilst Australia is miles away, we’re fortunate enough to get to celebrate in our own country. Barra, the little sister of the famous Latin restaurant Moderna is offering a special menu, in both Melbourne and Sydney. But you have to be quick as it’s for July only.
For a small fee, guests can enjoy a Chefs selection and tantalise their taste buds in traditional Peruvian delights, such as ceviche and antichuco and other dishes that showcase the wonderful and iconic flavours of the region.
The original Pisco
And of course, it wouldn’t be a meal complete without their iconic Pisco sour. Their classic spotlight cocktail for the month, made from barsol quebranta pisco and refreshing lime, egg white and sugar to get that perfectly balanced sweet, sour taste.
This salivating offer is only being run for one month. So, if you’re looking for something to spice up your life this Winter, get some bragging rights with all your friends, and enjoy a taste of something spectacular, make sure you head to Barra this July!
