Ají verde is a popular Peruvian condiment. Creamy and spicy, with fruity acidity from lime juice, it’s the perfect accompaniment to pollo a la brasa. Ají amarillo is a spicy yellow Peruvian chili. Look for ají amarillo paste in Latin American markets, but if not available, simply omit it. The sauce still will taste great.

This is awesome
Fresh and flavorful. Agree it could work on anything. I think grilled pork, fish, bread… it’s a huge game changer for the home chef. Kudos milk street. Every now and again you have a recipe that’s incomparable

Delicious
I made this to go with SKILLET-ROASTED PERUVIAN-STYLE CHICKEN. This sauce would be good on anything. So very delicious.

I could put this on waffles
This sauce pairs perfectly with the Peruvian style chicken. It’s also great just with some crusty bread. Very flavorful.
