Aji Verde (Spicy Peruvian Green Sauce) image

Categories     Sauce

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups lightly packed fresh cilantro, mostly leaves but small stems are ok (from 1 big bunch of cilantro or 1 1/2 medium)
2 medium jalapeños, seeds and membranes removed but reserved, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/3 cup (1 ounce) grated Cotija or Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, combine all of the ingredients. Blend until the cilantro has broken into very tiny pieces and the sauce is green and mostly smooth (no matter how long you blend it, it will still have some texture to it).
  • Taste, and adjust if necessary. This sauce is intentionally bold and spicy and I usually think it's just right as written. However, if the flavor is too overwhelming, blend in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while running the food processor. If it's not spicy enough, add some of the reserved jalapeño seeds and blend again. If it doesn't have enough zip, add another tablespoon of lime juice and/or a pinch of salt.
  • Aji verde keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 1 week.

PERUVIAN AJI-STYLE SAUCE



Peruvian Aji-Style Sauce image

I got this recipe from a restaurant in California 10 years ago. It's been a staple in my refrigerator ever since. It's excellent with rotisserie chicken. You can lower the calories if you stream in olive oil in replace of the mayo.

PERUVIAN AJI SAUCE



Peruvian Aji Sauce image

This is the bright green spicy sauce served in Peruvian restaurants that is delicious as a bread dip but can be used on meats or fish.

Provided by Cremon

Categories     Spreads

Time 15m

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 heads washed romaine lettuce
2 bunches of fresh washed fresh cilantro
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
5 fresh jalapenos or 5 serrano chilies
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup vegetables
1/3 of an onion
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Chop everything up as needed to fit into a blender.
  • Remove the thick stems from the Cilantro and Parsley bunches. Cut the hard stem/hearts out of the romaine lettuce.
  • Combine ingredients in the blender and blend thoroughly until smooth. Add small amounts of water if it sticks and gets too thick to blend. It will be a bright teal to sea green in color when complete.
  • Spread it on any kind of bread either by itself, or on top of butter, margarine or hydrolyzed vegetable oil spreads. It is very tasty and really wakes up bread or can be used as a dip with chips.
  • Store up to a week in the refrigerator. This stuff is awesome but very perishable, so I would use it within 5 days.
