Frequently Asked Questions
What is aji amarillo paste used for?
Aji amarillo paste is a key ingredient in Peruvian cuisine, adding a fruity, mildly spicy flavour to dishes like ceviche, ají de gallina (creamy chicken stew), and lomo saltado (stir-fry). It's great for marinades, sauces, and dips too.
How do I store Chatica Pasta de Aji Amarillo?
Keep the unopened jar in a cool, dry cupboard. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within 4-6 weeks for best flavour. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.
Is this paste very spicy?
Aji amarillo offers medium heat—fruity and vibrant rather than fiery. It's milder than habanero but bolder than bell peppers, perfect for building flavour gradually.
Can I use it in non-Peruvian recipes?
Absolutely versatile! Try it in tacos, curries, pizza toppings, or bloody marys for a unique twist. It pairs well with seafood, meats, and veggies.
