Peruvian Grilled Chicken With Tomato Rice

By

This dish reflects the country's native Spanish and Japanese food traditions.It is a cross-cultural collaboration of a Brazilian rice recipe and a Peruvian chicken classic, but the fusion doesn't end there. The marinade for the chicken is a prime example - it combines Asian soy sauce and lime juice as its base, then is seasoned with New World chili powder and old world cumin and oregano.
