Peru's essential yellow chili, aji amarillo, is roasted and peeled, then blended with onion and garlic into a smooth sauce. Portioned into ice cube trays, this sauce can be kept in the freezer for months.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Roast the peppers

10 min

Roast the yellow chilies in a hot pan until the skins darken slightly.

2

Let them cool

10 min

Transfer the roasted chilies to a plate and let them cool.

3

Peel

5 min

Peel the cooled chilies and thoroughly clean out the seeds.

4

Blend

10 min

Blend the peeled chilies with the onion, garlic, oil and vinegar until smooth, then stir in the salt.

5

Freeze

10 min

Pour the sauce into ice cube trays; once frozen, pop them out and store in a bag in the freezer.

Reminder

Wear gloves when removing the seeds and inner membranes from the peppers, or the heat can linger on your hands for hours.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you want a creamier consistency, you can blend in a few saltine crackers; this is a common thickening trick in Peruvian cooking.

Aji amarillo bulamadığım için yerine kırmızı dolmalık biber ve birkaç damla acı sos kullandım, renk daha koyu çıktı ama lezzeti yine de güzeldi. Küp buz kalıplarına dökmek gerçekten pratik, ihtiyaç kadar çözüp kullanabiliyorum.

Kırmızı dolmalık biberle renk elbette farklı olur ama tada dokunmaz, iyi bir çözüm bulmuşsunuz. Buz kalıplarında dondurmak benim de önerdiğim yöntem, kullanmadan biraz önce oda sıcaklığında bekletmeniz yeterli.
