Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the oil, the carrot cut into pieces, the salt, and the rice. Stir everything, and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Then add the water, and raise the temperature to the maximum. Cook uncovered for about seven minutes until the water on the surface of the rice has evaporated.
- Then add the peas, stir a little, maximum of two turns to avoid breaking the rice, and continue to cook covered for an additional five to seven minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the meat.
- Peel the onion and chop it finely. Peel the garlic and mash it. Remove the stems from the chili, scoop out the seeds, and cut them into small pieces. Cut the eggs into small pieces too, as well as the olives.
- In a bowl, place the meat and season with the cumin, tomato paste, salt, and crushed garlic. Let it rest for about five minutes.
- In a saucepan, put the three tablespoons of oil over medium heat. When it is bubbling, add the onion and the minced panca peppers. Cook for about three minutes until the onion turns translucent.
- Add the seasoned meat and sauté with the vegetables for about five minutes.
- When the meat loses its pink color, add the olives and raisins. Lastly, add the chopped eggs, and the coriander (cilantro). Stir and turn off.
- To assemble the covered rice, you will need a round bowl, about four inches in diameter. Brush with oil so it comes off easily when serving. Then, place about four large tablespoons of the rice that you prepare and distribute it over the base of the bowl, then compress it with a spoon, until it is compact and uniform.
- When the first layer of rice is sufficiently compacted, add about four tablespoons of beef stew. Compact again with the spoon
- Then put more rice on top, compacting in the same way.
- To flip, place a plate on top of the bowl and center it, or if you want to serve fried plantains on the side, place it on the side.
- Hold the plate, and firmly turn it over. The covered rice will remain on the plate.
- Remove the cup very carefully so that the covered rice does not collapse.
- The garnishes for this dish are fried, and you can fry them in the same pan, using the same oil. Peel the plantains cut them in two crosswise, and then each banana half into three slices.
- Fry the plantains, about three minutes on each side. Place two or three slices of plantain per plate. Then fry the eggs, and put a scrambled egg on top of each covered rice. Garnish with a little parsley and enjoy.

PERUVIAN MEAT AND RICE
A Peruvian meal that my Japanese mother loved. This is her quick, altered version of the meal. Unfortunately she never measured the ingredients, so I always have to guess and taste-test this at every step. You can substitute ground turkey for pork if desired. I usually end up adding more cumin, garlic, and soy sauce right before serving.

PERUVIAN STYLE CORIANDER RICE WITH PEAS
Loosely adapted from the well-known Peruvian dish, Arroz con Pato, which is very similar to the ubiquitous Spanish Arroz con Pollo, but without the tomatoes. It's also a little spicier, and has thePeruvian addition of a dark beer as part of the liquid(you can sub veg. broth). Peruvian food is unique and delicious-- a cultural mix of native Indian, Spanish, African, Italian, Chinese and, more recently, Japanese cooking. From Bryanna's book "20 Minutes to Dinner", and posted on VeganFeastKitchen.

Steps:
- In a large heavy skillet or saute pan with a tight lid (can be non-stick), sprayed with oil, saute the onion, bell peppers, hot peppers, and garlic until the onion begins to brown a bit. Add water a tablespoon at a time to keep them from sticking, as needed.
- Add the cilantro, coriander, and cumin, and stir-fry for a minute.
- Add the raw rice and stir-fry briefly.
- Pour in the beer and the hot water with the bouillon, and the peas, with pepper to taste, plus your Protein choice and any Optional addition you might be using.
- Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes(longer for whole wheat basmati-about 45 mins), or until the rice is done.
- Toss ingredients and taste for salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose fresh, flavorful cuts of meat and use a good quality rice, such as basmati or jasmine.
- If you don't have time to marinate the meat overnight, you can marinate it for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy.
- If you are making the ají sauce from scratch, be sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give the sauce a bright, flavorful taste.
- Serve the Peruvian meat and rice with your favorite sides, such as beans, plantains, or salad.
Conclusion:
Peruvian meat and rice is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve for a party, Peruvian meat and rice is sure to please everyone at the table.
