How to make Peruvian Pepper Dip

Why cooks start here

Peruvian Pepper Dip is cooked the way Peruvian home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a peruvian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Peruvian Pepper Dip is a vibrant blend of roasted peppers and garlic, brought together with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. It's a staple at Peruvian home tables, where cooks judge the salt by hand and use fat generously to create a rich, flavorful dip. This dip is enjoyed across Peru, often served as a communal dish for sharing. Its taste is a harmonious balance of smoky, garlicky, and tangy notes, making it a beloved accompaniment to meals with family and friends.
