Aji Amarillo Sauce

June 1, 2014 By Jessica Leave a Comment


Aji Amarillo Sauce is a staple ingredient for Peruvian cooking.

I use this sauce on EVERYTHING… you name it, it goes well with it.


Aji Amarillo sauce can be found at your local Latin/Mexican market. This chili-based sauce has medium heat and packs on a massive flavor-punch to anything you add it to.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:

  • You can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream… or do a mix of whichever you prefer.
  • This goes especially well with potatoes, chicken, and grilled vegetables.
