• Anticuchos are brochettes made from a beef heart marinated in a various Peruvian spices and grilled, often sided with boiled potatoes and corn.

• Papa rellena (stuffed potato): mashed potatoes stuffed with ground (minced) meat, eggs, olives and various spices and then deep fried.
  
• Arroz tapado (covered rice): uses the same stuffing of papa rellena, but rather than used as a stuffing, it is accompanied by rice.
  
• Pollo a la brasa (grilled chicken or roaster chicken): is one of the most consumed food in this country. It's basically a gutted chicken marinated in a marinade that includes various peruvian ingredients.
  
• Sancochado: A hearty beef and vegetable broth which includes yuca (cassava) and potatoes.

• Carapulcra is an appetizing stewed dish of pork and chicken, dried potatoes, red chilis, peanuts and cumin.
  
• Empanadas (Meat turnovers) they are filled either with chicken, beef or cheese. They have a unique taste due to the addition of olives and sometimes hard boiled eggs and raisins.

Sweet dishes

• Alfajores: consist of two or more layers of this baked pastry, and is usually filled with either manjar blanco (a caramel-colored, sweet, creamy filling made with milk and sugar) or molasses.

• Arroz con leche (rice-pudding): It consists primarily of cooked rice, cinnamon/nutmeg, raisins, and milk. Because lemons are not available in Peru, rice pudding never has lemon rind as is traditional in the Spanish version.
  
• Mazamorra morada: a jelly-like clove-flavored dessert. It takes on the color of one of its main ingredients: purple maize. Mazamorra morada is a traditional dessert of Peru. A variety of purple corn (maíz morado) only grows in Peru that colors and adds a particular flavor to the water in which it is boiled along with cinnamon and a generous amount of cloves. When that water is cooled chopped fruit, key lime and sugar are added. The mixture is served as a beverage called "chicha morada".

Peruvian Drinks

• Pisco Sour: typical Peruvian cocktail made with a pisco (originally from Peru), lime and egg-white.
  
• Chicha morada: alcohol-free drink of purple corn juice.
