Prep:4minCook:5min
This vibrant green sauce originates from the culinary traditions of Peru and has quickly gained popularity worldwide for its unique blend of zesty, herbaceous, and creamy elements. With its delightful balance of flavors, Aji Verde Sauce effortlessly enhances the taste of everything it touches. This sauce knows no bounds. It’s sensational when paired with dishes such as burritos or grilled cheese, succulent meats such as beef or chicken and equally as vibrant when paired with lighter proteins such as fish or delicate sides such as grilled vegetables or roasted potatoes.
The versatility of the Peruvian Aji Verde Sauce lies in its harmonious combination of fresh ingredients. This recipe is crafted with jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and a touch of creamy mayo, this sauce packs a punch of flavor with each spoonful. The tangy zest of lime mingles with the herbal notes of cilantro, while the heat of the green chilies adds a delightful and mild kick.
When I am in search of a quick and simple method to transform a weeknight supper from good to amazing, this sauce is my go-to. It is the finishing touch that elevates a dish from ordinary to extraordinary.
*This sauce makes about 40 tablespoons. Recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons.
