17 hours ago, Smithy said:After that late lunch I staggered off to a Mexican market in hopes of finding Aji de Amarillo (Peruvian chile paste) for the purposes of making Aji de Gallina. I've received the recipe from the chef who made it for the RPCV "Taste the World" event last week, and she assured me that the chile paste is very particular: it must be Aji de Amarillo for the dish to taste right.
Stopped by our local H-Mart this afternoon and it has a whole Peruvian section with lots of aji amarillo (mild or hot!). Sadly, not close to where you are.
