Peru Traces Travel & Tours

Local Market Tour

Local Market tour + peruvian cooking lessons & exotic fruit tasting, plus much more

08:30 or 13:30: Pick you up from your hotel and with our expert chef and local tour guide will take you to one of our local markets which is located in the Surquillo district, where you will find a variety of native Peruvian products and best of all, you will interact with local people, we will buy the necessary ingredients to  prepare the delicious dishes of your choice. Carefully and after a long work together with chefs, cooks, gourmets and local food lovers we choose 4 different great options to teach to cook, then you have to choose among these tasty dishes:

OPTION 1:

FISH; Main Course: the Peruvian dish we choose to cook with fish is: “Pescado a la Chorrillana”, Fried onions, tomatoes, chili pepper and bay leaf, add fish broth and then a Fish fillet in low heat and its ready to eat,

Starter we will cook together our Peruvian National dish called “Ceviche!” the most popular dish among Peruvians! It is about small pieces of raw fish marinated in fresh aromatic lime juice tender onions, boiled sweet potatoes mixed with or without Andean hot chilis

OPTION 2:

CHICKEN; Main Course: for chicken we cook: “Aji de Pollo” in English chili chicken (it is not spicy), consists of thin strips of chicken served with a creamy yellow and  spicy sauce, made with ají Amarillo (non spicy yellow chilis), cheese, milk, crunchy bread.

As starter, we will teach you to prepare the “Causa Limeña” Mashed organic yellow potatoes seasoned with lime and aji (hot pepper), and filled with fresh seasonal local veggies (it’s a mild dish)

OPTION 3:

MEAT: Main Course, our delicious “Lomo saltado”, Beef tenderloin slices, sautéed with onions, tomatoes, aji (hot peppers but not spicy), and more spices. It is served with French fries and rice.

For starter we have our super delicious “Papa Rellena” balls made of mashed potatoes filled with either meat or vegetables or quinoa. Once it’s close and fried, it is served with “salsa criolla”

OPTION 4:

VEGETARIAN: Main dish: Pimiento Relleno or Stuffed Pepper, which is a stuffed pepper, full of fresh vegetables and organic herbs from the north of Peru.

As starter: “Solterito”, With green peas, beans, quinoa! And olive oil, it’s delicious. After shopping we will go to our cozy kitchen, where we will taste a fruit festival!

To cook, we use ceramic pots, the same as our ancestors did. This way we will keep all the flavors as natural as they are.

This class is for people who love traditional foods and want to prepare them at home! You will love the relaxed atmosphere without boring delays, because we believe in the practical approach. After the tour we will take you back to your hotel or if you prefer go walking just let us know.
