Aji

On that fateful day at the farmers market, I also came into a handful of flying-saucer-shaped chile peppers known as aji dulces (or ajicitos), known for a sweet, mild, fruity flavor (and beloved by my pal Myra, who spent part of her childhood in Puerto Rico). ❋ Unknown (2011)

A squat yellow jar, its label in Spanish, aji amarillo. ❋ Jael McHenry (2011)

I also included my new fave chili pepper... aji, which is an Argentine spice used for things like empanadas. ❋ E D B M (2009)

They never spill the ingredients and the only name they'll give me is "aji," which just means "pepper." ❋ Bryanna Clark Grogan (2009)

The only substitute was the "aji," or capsicum, of which several species grew around, and almost every dish they ate was strongly spiced with it. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)

The yellow stain reminds me of the yellow aji de gallina, how I was afraid it would ruin the recipes. ❋ Jael McHenry (2011)

Peruvian food features a lot of seafood, often prepared raw or cured; high acid—Key lime juice and red onion are ubiquitous flavors; and a subtle hint of spice provided by the fruity aji pepper, which leaves lips tingling. ❋ Katy McLaughlin (2011)

At the end, the aji comes together as it should, its yellows and whites correct, the black olives like punctuation. ❋ Jael McHenry (2011)

I chop onion and garlic and start them frying in the oil, then I spoon out the right amount of aji amarillo paste and put the jar back in the fridge. ❋ Jael McHenry (2011)

The smell of the aji is already fainter, already disappearing. ❋ Jael McHenry (2011)

Serve with Ecuadorian style cooked rice, fried plantains, salad with tomato and onion curtido, fried or grilled meat (or fish/poultry/egg), avocado slices and some good aji or hot sauce on the side. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But it was fancy, which means the hot sauce (aji) was out of this world. ❋ Unknown (2010)

My favorite was a Pan-Seared Loup de Mer $25; the sea bass filet was served with five sauces: romesco, chimichurri, verde, aji Amarillo, aji panca. ❋ Jay Weston (2011)

The cuisine's key ingredients like aji amarillo, a yellow chili are now found at farmers' markets frequented by chefs, and sales of pisco, Peru's fiery grape brandy, have doubled in the last five years. ❋ Katy McLaughlin (2011)
