Simple Peruvian

When people think of international dishes, they think complicated and strange ingredients. This simple pork chop recipe is out to prove them wrong!

If you haven’t already delved into the world of Peruvian food, you are missing out! One of my favorite things about it is that so many dishes are naturally gluten free.

I received four beautiful big pork chops in this months Butcher Box, so my husband whipped up these amazing pork chops with onions and aji peppers for the perfect meal.

Aji Amarillo

 Aji Peppers are the foundation of many Peruvian Dishes. I used it in my Arroz con Pollo, Causa, and Seco de Res just to name a few. They come in several different forms including paste, dried and pickled. Luckily Peruvian food has become very popular so they can all be found in most grocery stores, nationwide. If all else fails, Amazon is your friend! This recipe uses whole, brined, Aji Amarillo peppers.

For this recipe, you will also want Aji Amarillo paste and Aji Panca paste. These are well worth spending a couple of dollars on (usually under five at the grocery store). They are very versatile and add so much flavor to dishes.

Pork Chops with Onions and Peppers

 I know Chuleta de Puerco Encebollada sounds fancy, but it is just flavorful, juicy pork chops with onions and whole aji amarillo peppers. It’s relatively straightforward to make but is a colorful dish that will impress.

Pork Chops are perfect for company because they are a relatively inexpensive cut of meat. I got mine in Butcher Box this month. If you haven’t tried Butcher Box, it is a monthly meat service that offers high-quality grass-fed beef, heritage pork, and organic chicken. We’ve had the pork chops twice now and have been thoroughly impressed. Worth checking out!
