Typical Peruvian Main Courses

Peruvian main courses are enormously varied in flavors and colors reflecting the native heritage, the three main geographical areas, and of course the merging of traditional with foreign cooking styles from immigrants. As each region in Peru is distinct in its flora and fauna, each local cuisine adapts to the natural resources available and present foreign influences. Below find a few main courses that can be found in Lima around every corner. While some are typical for the Peruvian coastal region, others clearly show the influences of other regions.
