Ají amarillo is the 'yellow chilli' of Peru and the base flavour of the country's cooking. It was used by the Incas and gives many Peruvian dishes their golden colour.
A creamy, golden Peruvian chilli sauce made from ají amarillo, mayonnaise and lime. Spooned over anticuchos, causa and fried fish.
Put the ají amarillo paste, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic and lime juice in a bowl.
Whisk until smooth and stir in the coriander.
Season with salt and add more lime or paste to taste.
Chill for 20 minutes. Serve with grilled meats, fried fish or potatoes.
Ají amarillo paste is sold in jars online and in Latin American shops. It has a fruity heat that is hard to replace.
