Called Uchu in Quechua, a native South American language, the aji amarillo is one of the most common peppers and one of the most important ingredients in Peruvian cuisine. Aji amarillo has a hot but fruity flavor, distinctive to Latin American dishes. Used in paste form, this spicy yet sweet chili is a great base for a variety of dishes when mixed with sauteed onions, garlic and herbs. Use it in sauces to flavor meats, pasta or rice are as a marinade for any type of meat.
