Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aji Amarillo Peppers

    Remove the stems and seeds from the Aji Amarillo peppers. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can remove the seeds, as they contain most of the heat.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the prepared Aji Amarillo peppers, lime juice, garlic cloves, cilantro, water, salt, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.

  4. 4

    Optional Additions

    If using, chop the red onion and avocado into small pieces. You can fold these into the sauce for added texture and flavor.
