Chifa is a fusion of Peruvian and Chinese cuisines, brought to Peru by the influx of East Asian immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The first documented Chinese immigrants arrived in Peru in 1849 to work in coastal sugar plantations and mines, to construct rail roads, and to extract guano for fuel.

Chef Tom shares a Crowd Favourite
Posted in Opinion, Recipe with tags African, Berbere, Chef Tom, Chicken, Couscous, DBAWIS, Don't Believe a Word I Say, Ethiopian, Hipp Kitchen, paleo, San Francisco, segarini on August 11, 2018 by segariniThis is a crowd fave. Hearty, spicy and exotic. Berbere, an Ethiopian spice blend, is one of my go-to flavor boosters. Aromatic, complex and as spicy as you please. Making your own is ambitious, so plan ahead to use it up within six months. You can find an excellent recipe here.
Or just go to a Whole Foods or local grocery store that has a good variety of spices (like in the little green boxes) and buy the two tablespoons you’ll need for this recipe. If you’re patient, order some here.
