La Sarita Pure Ají Amarillo Sauce – Peruvian Yellow Chili 250g

La Sarita's pure ají amarillo sauce captures the bright, fruity heat of Peru's most iconic yellow chili. Unlike blended salsas loaded with fillers, this is straightforward ají amarillo — the paste that defines Peruvian coastal cooking. Use it to marinade fish before grilling, stir it into cream for a quick seafood sauce, or thin it with lime juice for a vibrant table condiment.

About this product

Ají amarillo peppers have a distinctive fruity warmth and mild to medium heat — nothing like the sharp burn of jalapeños or serranos. La Sarita grinds and concentrates the chili into a smooth, pourable paste that carries the full flavor of the pepper without additives or thickeners. A spoonful goes a long way; the sauce is meant to be thinned, mixed into dishes, or used as a base for larger preparations.

How to enjoy

• Stir into mayonnaise or sour cream for a dipping sauce for grilled seafood or vegetables.
• Mix with fish stock and white wine to sauce grilled fish or shellfish.
• Blend into soups, stews, or rice dishes for Peruvian-style seasoning.
• Thin with lime juice and serve as a table sauce for ceviche or grilled meats.
