TACU-TACU PERUVIAN RICE DISH

We are going to Peru today with a typical and very popular Peruvian dish which is said to be Creole from its African culture left by Spain colonies : the tacu-tacu, a leftover rice and beans mix!
Were you aware that Peruvian cuisine had been proclaimed Cultural Heritage of Peru in 2007!
Peruvian gastronomy is extremely rich and is tinged with different cultural influences like the rice which have been accompanied the most Peruvian dishes since the 19th century, following Chinese immigration.
In fine, did you know that the Cordillera Andes, due to its different altitude levels and its proximity to the equator, allows the existence of 84 micro-climates leading to an extraordinary biodiversity. 

Wine pairing : Chénas (Red) from Beaujolais.
