About

This dish is every Peruvian’s dream come true, as it puts together two of our great culinary loves: seafood and rice. Every time I make it, my mind wanders back to a beautiful restaurant in Lima called Costa Verde, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the majestic cliffs that make our city as unique as its food.
