Instructions

Prepare a recipe for aioli. If you do not want to make the aioli from scratch you can substitute mayonnaise with a clove of minced garlic, but the fresh aioli is well worth the 5 minutes of effort.
In a food processor, combine 2 jalapenos, 1 garlic clove, ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper and 2 green onions. Pulse to a fine chop.
Next, add in 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of Aji Amarillo, 1 teaspoon of Huacatay, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 cup of cilantro. Pulse again to combine.
Finally, in a small bowl, combine the mixture from the food processor with about ½ cup of aioli and whisk well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
