Product Information

Peel and finely slice the onion, then add to the bowl with the orange juice. Cover with clingfilm and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably longer. Hi Kimberly, thank you for this wonderful Peruvian Green Sauce! I can’t thank you enough for this recipe. We have three Peruvian restaurants where I live, all with this wonderful green sauce. I have been meaning to try and duplicate it for years. Today I got around to it. One of the restaurants is called The Rocoto, after the Rocoto Pepper. Anyway, I knew the recipe had to have this ingredient, so I used your recipe, really only switching the Aji Amarillo Pepper for the Rocoto Pepper (both are spicy peppers). I am also vegan, so I used vegan mayo and left out the parmesan cheese (although I do love that stuff). Your recipe was so on target. Here is my vegan version of your great recipe. I hope you don’t mind the changes. Without you I could have never done this. Thanks! The Rico Picante range is the proud creations of brother and sister team Allison Ward and Christian Castillo-Martinez, who, despairing of the products already on the market, now proudly offer concoctions like the full-bodied Panca chilli ‘Smoky’ and, for die-hard hotheads, ‘Oops!, made with searing-yet-flavoursome Limo chillies. Splash out, splash on- if nothing else, they’re an excellent chaser for that odd leche de tigre. To the pan, add the marinated onions and cumin, then finely chop and add the coriander. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onions are soft.

A traditional Peruvian sauce, Aji Verde Sauce is a bright green chili sauce that comes standard in any Peruvian restaurant.

Peel, destone and roughly chop the avocado, finely chop the coriander leaves and chives, then combine in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the lime juice. Season with a little sea salt to taste. But the best way to savor this tangy, spicy sauce from Peru is to make it yourself. Or failing that, get on a plane to Peru and enjoy the spicy sauces of the world’s best culinary destinations.
