Well, with Peruvian gastronomy making its way to the most popular in the world, it\u2019s time to pull out all the stops and host the ultimate Peruvian dinner party.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve been to the culturally diverse country and enjoyed the food you tried, or you might think that the dishes sound delicious, which they are. Whatever the reason, you\u2019ve decided that next time family and friends come over, you want to impress them with this fantastic cuisine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure where to start? Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ve come up with the perfect Peruvian dinner party including what to eat for each course as well as how to set the scene and entertain your guests in real Peruvian fashion! You don\u2019t need to do the planning because we\u2019ve done it for you. You just need to gather everything you need and set it up ready for your excited guests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s enough from us. Let\u2019s get on with how to host the best Peruvian dinner party possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/best-culinary-destination-peru-food-meal.jpg\" alt=\"best culinary destination peru food meal\" class=\"wp-image-2838\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-setting-the-scene-for-a-peruvian-dinner-party\">Setting the Scene for a Peruvian Dinner Party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your guests feel like they\u2019re in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PU8b9ZsBWZs&amp;ab_channel=SalkantayTrekking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peru<\/a><\/strong>, you need to set up your home in the most Peruvian way possible. If you\u2019ve been to the country and have some souvenirs, bring them all into the dining room, kitchen, or wherever you\u2019ll be enjoying your dinner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few other touches you can add to create the perfect atmosphere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Put on some Peruvian music of your choice. It can be any genre you like or you can create a playlist of all sorts. We think \u2018criolla\u2019 music goes very well in a relaxed dinenr setting.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See if you can get some Peruvian clothing to wear for the evening and ask your guess to come dressed up, too. Dig out the poncho you bought on vacation or see what you can find online to buy or hire.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hang up Peruvian flags and lots of colorful items, because Peru is an extremely colorful country and you\u2019ll see the bright tones everywhere.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Setting-the-Scene-for-a-Peruvian-Dinner-Party-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Setting the Scene for a Peruvian Dinner Party\" class=\"wp-image-4483\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-drinks-for-a-peruvian-dinner-party\">Drinks for a Peruvian Dinner Party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get into the food you\u2019ll be serving, you need to know what drinks you\u2019re going to offer. We recommend beginning the evening and welcoming your guests with the classic Peruvian cocktail, a pisco sour. It\u2019s one of the most delicious concoctions you\u2019ll ever try and no one will be disappointed. It\u2019ll also help people relax and get them in the mood for the rest of the evening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to see if you\u2019re able to get any Peruvian beers and wine in. Try your local grocery store and see what they have. If it\u2019s hard to find what you want, look online. Intipalka make some delicious wines and have a variety to please everyone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you have some guests who prefer non-alcoholic options or there are some kids coming. In this case, see if you can get your hands on some purple corn to make the unique drink chichi morada. Otherwise, some Peruvian lemonade will also go down a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Drinks-for-a-Peruvian-Dinner-Party-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Drinks for a Peruvian Dinner Party\" class=\"wp-image-4484\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-peruvian-dinner-party-menu-ideas\">Peruvian Dinner Party Menu Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, now it\u2019s time to get into what really makes a dinner party; the food. There\u2019s a huge choice of options for each course, so we\u2019re going to give you a few for each and you can mix and match to make the perfect menu for you and your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canapes-nibbles\">Canapes\/Nibbles\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As your invitees walk in, you can have a few trays of canapes to hand out to nibble on while they enjoy their pisco sours. In reality, most dishes can be made into tiny portions, but here are some we think work best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Causa a la Lime\u00f1a \u2013 This is a very tasty dish from the coastal region of Peru and consists of a layer of yellow mashed potato on the top and bottom with a filling of chicken, mayonnaise, celery, and avocado. You can mix it up a little by using shrimp instead. Make the different parts and the portion them into tiny bitesize pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choritos a la Chalaca \u2013 Another coastal favorite and great for a little bite is this fresh dish. All you\u2019ll need is fresh mussels and diced onion, tomato, and cilantro with a little lemon squeezed over the top. They taste amazing and take very little time to prepare. 2 or 3 per guest will give them a taster of what\u2019s to come.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choclo con queso \u2013 If you can get your hands on some of the corn that they eat in Peru, you can serve it along with cheese. This is a real Andean favorite.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toasted maize and plantain chips \u2013 These are both super easy to prepare and very Peruvian. You can have them in bowls around the room\/on the table for people to pick at while they wait for the courses to arrive. Both can be made by frying either maize or plantain slices in plenty of oil.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ceviche-@gongo_restobar.jpg\" alt=\"Causa with Ceviche | Photo by @gongo_restobar\" class=\"wp-image-10772\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Causa with Ceviche | Photo by @gongo_restobar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Causa-@elpollonmcbo.jpg\" alt=\"Causa | Photo by @elpollonmcbo\" class=\"wp-image-10771\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Causa | Photo by @elpollonmcbo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starters\">Starters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your guests are impressed with their little tasters and pisco sours, so now it\u2019s time to wow them with the real deal. Here are our top choices for Peruvian starts at your dinner party. You can serve them with another pisco sour or get out the wine and beer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/cusco-street-food-travellers-point-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anticuchos<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 These are a favorite all over Peru and one of the most delicious street foods you\u2019ll likely ever try. Well, here they make their way to your dining table. They are simply skewers with a special marinade cooked on a grill. The most delicious are made with beef heart, but you can go for beef or chicken chunks, too, depending on your taste. One skewer with a small salad is enough for a small starter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stuffed Pepper \u2013 This dish comes from Arequipa, soufl\u00e9 de rocoto, and can be served alone as a small starter. It\u2019s usually stuffed with diced beef, peas, carrots, raisins, and olives, topped with egg and cheese. You cook it in the oven so it can be prepared in advance and heated before serving.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ceviche \u2013 We don\u2019t think there\u2019s any guest that won\u2019t be impressed by a fresh and exquisite starter of ceviche. There are various ways to prepare this dish depending on the cuisine, but the Peruvian way is possibly the tastiest. You\u2019ll need fresh fish and a few other simple ingredients. It doesn\u2019t take long to prepare and it\u2019s an excellent opener to your 3 courses.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ceviche-made-fresh-fish-cooked-just-lemon-juice.jpg\" alt=\"ceviche made fresh fish cooked just lemon juice\" class=\"wp-image-2537\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mains\">Mains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now were getting to the main event. This is where you really want to make a good impression and leave your guests with the knowledge that Peruvian cuisine is an excellent choice. We\u2019ve gone for a few classics here for you to choose from that aren\u2019t too complex to execute but really pack a punch with their flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lomo Saltado \u2013 If you want to cook a beef dish, this unique Peruvian stir fry will have your guests wanting seconds. You\u2019ll need some prime beef to stir fry with onions, tomatoes, yellow chillies, cilantro, and fries. Serve it with rice and a smile. This isn\u2019t a favorite amongst the Peruvian population for nothing.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aji de Gallina \u2013 Perhaps you want something a little lighter than beef, so here we have a chicken recipe that\u2019ll warm the hearts of anyone who eats it. It\u2019s a creamy chicken dish that\u2019s served with olives, boiled egg, potatoes, and rice. It\u2019s comforting and satisfying and is a real authentic Peruvian dish.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grilled Trout \u2013 Maybe you want fish. In this case, we suggest you go for a fresh piece of grilled trout. You\u2019ll find it on the menu in many Peruvian restaurants and it\u2019s simple to pull off. Serve it with potatoes and veggies for a healthy but tasty meal.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/aji-gallina.food_.peru_-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"aji gallina food peru \" class=\"wp-image-1975\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-desserts\">Desserts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No dinner party is complete without a tasty dessert, and Peru has some delicious options that your guests likely haven\u2019t tried before. Our top recommendations are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Picarones \u2013 These are rings of deep fried goodness made from sweet potato and squash. Serve them with a tasty sauce and your guests will be licking their fingers with delight afterward. You can prepare the batter beforehand to quickly fry at the end of the night.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suspiro a la Lime\u00f1a \u2013 Another easy to make dessert that you can make in advance. It\u2019s a silky smooth, caramel like sweet that can be served in small glasses for those guests that are full but like something sugary to end a meal with,\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crema Volteada \u2013 Yet another sweet that can be made in advance because we know you\u2019re going to be tired at this point. It\u2019s a little like a panacotta but Peruvian style. It\u2019s creamy caramel taste will go down a treat later in the evening.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/picarones-cusco-street-food.jpg\" alt=\"picarones cusco street food\" class=\"wp-image-3069\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-end-your-meal-with-coffee-and-chocolate\">End Your Meal with Coffee and Chocolate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still want to add a last course or know that you and your gusts love a coffee after dinner, see if you can get your hands on some Peruvian grains.
