Destination: Peru


    Last Saturday, like every other Saturday, I was bored at work, daydreaming of the endless possibilities and creations one can create of a simple meal. I suddenly got the urges to eat a Peruvian dish called "Lomo Saltado" which is really a beef stir fry with onions, tomatoes and the best part FRENCH FRIES! I am not Peruvian and have never made this dish in my life, so yes, it was a little nerve wrecking to see how it would turn out. I watched a video on YouTube to get the feel of how you make it. I came across a blog of a Peruvian woman where she has her own recipe of the dish. I did have to make some changes to the items she used since they were Peruvian spices that were VERY difficult to find at a local supermarket. I finally modified it to a simple yet tasty version of the dish! And I’m not bragging but, it was 
AWESOME!  


Serve it with a side of white rice and you have a meal! 
(Stay tuned for the recipe. Will be posted up soon!)
