Pairing Lomo Saltado correctly — a note on chicha morada purple corn drink

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Lomo Saltado. I ordered it with chicha morada purple corn drink and the spicy and aromatic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. purple corn in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Lima is considered one of the world's great culinary destinations. The a Novoandino contemporary Peruvian restaurant is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Lomo Saltado with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
