Aji amarillo paste is a smooth, vibrant yellow-orange condiment made from ají amarillo peppers. It delivers a fruity, slightly tropical flavor with moderate heat and is essential in traditional Peruvian dishes.

Ingredients

  • 6 –8 whole Ají Amarillo Peppers Fresh preferred; dried rehydrated if needed
    2 –3 cloves Garlic Peeled
    2 –3 tbsp Vegetable Oil More if needed for texture
    1 tsp Salt Adjust to taste
    1 tbsp Lemon or Lime Juice

Preparation

  • Wash and dry the fresh ají amarillo peppers. If using dried peppers, soak them in warm water until soft.
    Carefully remove the stems, seeds, and inner membranes from the peppers.

    Place the cleaned peppers into a blender along with garlic, salt, vegetable oil, and lemon or lime juice.

    Blend until smooth, adding a little extra oil or a splash of water if necessary to adjust the texture.

    (Optional) Simmer the blended paste in a saucepan over low heat for 5–7 minutes to deepen the flavor.
    Let the paste cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
