quinoa. you can cook it with shredded carrot, onions, garlic and hot chili peppers in a rice cooker. Its great!!

Asparagus is also very popular in Peruvian restaurants. Serve it with a nice cream sauce. You can buy a jar of alfredo sauce and serve it with that (its genius and very versatile, i like 3 brothers brand)
