Juanes are a typical dish from the Peruvian jungle regions. Traditionally prepared by cooking yuca (cassava), local fish species and wild bird eggs wrapped in bijao leaves, with the arrival of the Spaniards in Peru, European ingredients such as chicken and olives were included; later Chinese immigrants brought rice to Peru and the Juanes we know today filled with rice, chicken, olives and eggs were born.
