Special Sauce Scoop

For those wanting a smokier flavor to the Peruvian Piquant Pachamanca Sauce, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika. It not only enhances the taste but gives the sauce a deeper color, making it even more irresistible.

Origins of Aji Amarillo

Aji Amarillo, or the """"yellow chili"""", isn't actually yellow! It matures to a bright orange color and is considered a staple in Peruvian cuisine. Known for its slightly fruity flavor, it brings both heat and a unique taste to dishes. Historically, this pepper has been used in Peru for centuries and is deeply rooted in their culinary traditions.

The Aji Amarillo pepper ranks between 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale, ensuring a spicy kick without being overwhelmingly hot.

Best served with:

Ceviche, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and Peruvian tamales. Meta description: Authentic Peruvian Piquant Pachamanca Sauce with fiery Aji Amarillo peppers. A perfect blend of heat and tradition!
