Ingredients
- 2 aji amarillo peppers chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion (optional)
- 1 garlic clove chopped (optional)
- Pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or more as desired)
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Add the aji amarillo chilies and simmer for 10 minutes to soften. Drain and peel if desired.
- Add the chilies to a blender or food processor with onion, garlic, salt, and oil. Process to form a chili paste. Add more oil or water while the processor is running to achieve a smoother paste, if desired.
- Adjust for salt and pepper and serve!
Notes
- Heat Factor: Medium. You'll get some decent level heat with aji amarillo peppers, about the same heat as a serrano pepper.
- This will last a week in the refrigerator in a sealed container. You can also freeze it.
