Red cooking souce (Aji Especial)

Ok so Aji Especial goes in most Peruvian plates but it is hard to obtain so i am going to tell you how to make it and the best thing is you just put it in a jar in your refrigerator and you have some ready at all time. This recipe does not need a lot of things and is not complicated. You will need

  • 6-8 California Chile (this is dried Chile)
  • 1 tea spoon Vinegar
  1. So first things first you will need to open up the chilies and make sure you clean them really good taking out the seeds and vain if possible ( chile is very hot so wash hands after).
  2. Now you put them in water to boil for about 5 to10 min. If you like your food spice then you can go to the next step if not then keep reading so after it has boiled for 5 min you drain the water and add more water and let it boil once again.
  3. When your chiles have boiled drain the water and add the chiles in the blender with 1/2 cup of water and the vinegar.
  4. The last thing is let it cool down and place it in a jar and in the refrigerator.
