Home cooking attempt — Arroz con Leche from scratch
I spent an afternoon making Arroz con Leche from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting aji amarillo pepper right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The bright and citrusy result was rewarding once I got it right.
Lima is considered one of the world's great culinary destinations. I served it with Inca Kola as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Arroz con Leche yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
