Best Ají amarillo paste for home cooking
What Ají amarillo paste is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The frozen or jarred sunshine of Peruvian sauces — fruit and medium heat.
In Colombian and Peruvian cooking, Ají amarillo paste is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Ají amarillo paste before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
