The perfect chili for making traditional Peruvian meals and the popular Aji Colorado sauce – a Peruvian staple.
Aji Colorado has thin walls, which makes it excellent for drying. When dried, it’s simple to crumble the chili into soups and stews to add some extra heat (and a hint of sweetness) to a dish. They are also the perfect chili for making traditional Peruvian meals and the popular Aji Colorado sauce – a Peruvian staple. Use them fresh chopped up for salsas, or lightly grill them and have them as a side (especially for those that like things a little extra spicy). A variety from La Paz, Bolivia. Non-Isolated.
