Peruvian Spice Blend

Thanks to its pre-Inca and Inca heritage and to Spanish, Basque, African, Sino-Cantonese, Japanese and finally Italian immigration , Peruvian cuisine combines the flavors of four continents. The majority of the ingredients found in every Peruvian dish are rice, potatoes, chicken, pork, lamb, and fish. Most of these meals include one of the different kinds of "aji", or Peruvian hot pepper.  Peruvian has a diverse culture which has been split into its geographic regions because of the Andes mountains.  I should have five or six Peruvian spice blends but for now I will offer one.  Chile for orange, annatto seeds, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, pepper, and walnuts.

Best with parmesan and olive oil.  Excellent with chicken, white fish, or in vegetable stews.
