        🎇PERUVIAN AMAZON FOOD:JUANE

The juane is one of the main dishes of the cuisine of the Peruvian jungle and is widely consumed on June 24, the feast of St. John the Baptist (San Juan).  The juane would have been a food usually made for travelers, as they could be stored for long periods without spoiling. when Spanish missionaries arrived in the amazonia, they adopted the practice. 

According to legend, it was these Spanish missionaries, on their way from Chachapoyas to San Martin, who noticed the similarity of this food parcel to the severed head of St. John the Baptist (San Juan Baptista), leading to the name juane.

             •        Main ingredients:

- Rice

- Meat

- olives

- hard-boiled egg

- spices among others

- bijao 

               •   Basic preparation

The juane usually made on the basis of rice, meat, olives, hard-boiled egg, spices among others, which is wrapped with bijao (macaw-flower or heliconia) leaves and then put to boil for about an hour and a half. Rice can be substituted with cassava, chonta, the mixture of rice and cassava, beans, among other products. Before being wrapped in the leaves, the preparation is bathed with a mixture of beaten eggs to get the "pickup" (ligue in Spanish) of food and not fall off. The dish is accompanied by the customs of each region of the forest, as some people tend to accompany the tacacho,etc.
