Aji de Gallina 101

My roommate, Natalie, and I have both prepared Peruvian aji de gallina before, but neither of us makes it like our friend, Flor, does.  So, since we are on vacation from school this week, Flor came over and spent Friday morning teaching us how to make aji de gallina her way which, in our opinion, is the best aji de gallina there is.

Step 1: Boil the chicken.

Step 2: Cook the potatoes.

Step 3: Wash and cook the rice.

Step 4: Mix chicken stock with bread and crackers.

Step 5: Lots and lots of onions.

Step 6: Shred the cooked chicken.

Step 7: Aji, the most important ingredient.

Step 8: Mix it altogether.

Flor cleans our house twice a week and cooks for us once a week.  We are so grateful for how she takes care of us, for her sweet spirit, and for her friendship.
