Our last meal in Cusco turned out to be our best! If you find yourself in Cusco, you MUST visit El Tronquito, on Choquechaca, nr. 152. This restaurant is fantastic and very evocative and colonial, the husband and wife team chatty, endearing and welcoming, and the food: magnifico!
Try these yourselves:
Sopa Criolla:
Chicken stock with a little cream, onions, garlic and chopped herbs. Small pieces of fried mince and plenty of spaghetti pieces. Poached eggs in the centre topped with a slice of toast and a roasted chilli. Great combinations, melding into a rich flavour.
Lomo Saltado:
This Peruvian classic is a take on sweet and sour, but offers so much more! Fry off your thin strips of fine quality steak, together with red onions and chopped spring onions, adding a sauce of tomato, soy and perhaps pineapple to reduce the whole dish into a rich and thick consistency. At this stage all Peruvians add plenty of chips into the mix, but quite frankly, if I were you, I’d just miss out this part of the recipe. Serve with plenty of rice and garnishes of garlic sauce and picante sauce.
