Making Homemade Mirasol Chilli Paste

If you’ve never tried ají mirasol (mirasol chilli), it’s really good. It has a dark yellow colour, it’s not spicy if cleaned. In Peru, it’s made by drying ají Amarillo, the most typical chilli used in Perú. Its flavour is similar to ají Amarillo, only stronger, deeper and more intense. It adds a special flavour to Peruvian dishes. I use it on my fish escabeche and many people add some to their ají de gallina, also. You’ll find it on several other Peruvian recipes as well! Ají mirasol paste is really easy to make. I like to make a lot and then freeze it. You can freeze it in ice cubes, in a container or in reusable bags. It lasts up to a year frozen, but only 3 days refrigerated because it turns to vinegar quickly.
