SOL Aji Amarillo Paste (Yellow Chilli Paste) 225g

Sol Aji Amarillo Chilli Paste 225g | Peruvian Yellow Chilli Paste

• PERU’S SIGNATURE YELLOW CHILLI: Made with aji amarillo, the bright orange-yellow pepper that sits at the centre of Peruvian cooking. It is what gives dishes like aji de gallina and causa limeña their colour and their flavour.
• FRUITY, NOT JUST HOT: Aji amarillo carries a distinct fruitiness alongside its heat, closer to a mango or an apricot than to a green chilli. That is why it works in dishes where an Indian chilli would simply burn.
• MEDIUM HEAT: The aji amarillo pepper rates roughly 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, hotter than a jalapeño and in the range of a cayenne. In paste form, blended with salt, it reads as a warm medium heat rather than a fierce one.

THREE INGREDIENTS, NO FILLERS: Yellow chilli pepper and salt, with an acidity regulator and preservative to hold it. No oil, no thickeners, no added colour — the yellow comes from the pepper.

HOW TO USE IT: Stir into marinades for chicken, prawns or paneer, whisk into mayonnaise or yoghurt for a dip, or use as the base for sauces, soups, stews, rice dishes and noodles. A spoonful also lifts a salad dressing.
