Peruvian Aji Amarillo Pods

Aji amarillo is the most widely used chile in Peru. As it matures, its color changes from a sunny yellow to a rich shade of orange. Spicy 100-percent organic aji amarillo pods add a delicious heat to dishes from the traditional "aji de gallina"–a traditional dish made with shredded chicken covered in a cheese sauce that's infused with garlic and nuts–to soups and spicy sauces for fish.

Here's what you get:

  • One 1.25 oz bag of whole sundried aji amarillo pods

Spice Lovers Be Warned

With hundreds of varieties of aji, or chile, Peru is nirvana for spice lovers. As an ingredient, the aji plays a starring role in Peruvian cooking. A spicy tripe stew called the cau-cau features aji amarillo. But, the aji spice also works wonders in all-American classics like Texas chili and earthy lentil soup. Or, try using Aji to make a vibrant sauce for any chicken or fish dish.
