Ají picante or Ají Piqué is a spicy sauce from my hometown Antioquia. We keep it in the refrigerator all year round. It is an absolute must for Colombian Empanadas and it is the perfect sauce to flavor soups, stews and the perfect dipping sauce for Patacones. Growing up in my house we used it.

Like Mexican salsas, there are countless variations of this Colombian sauce: some made with hot chilies, some with avocados, some with pumpkin seeds, even some made with hard boiled eggs. But, as with Mexican salsa, there is one that immediately comes to most people's minds when they hear the word. In this case, it's the tomato and onion-based ají.

This is our favorite chimichurri recipe. Fresh oregano, parsley, and cilantro come together with red wine vinegar for a punchy condiment that’s as good spooned over a grilled steak as it is drizzled on a bowl of lentils (it’s also an excellent marinade). It's best served just after it’s made, but if you have any left over, it will hold in the refrigerator for a few days. Use on roasted chicken, grilled tofu, oven-roasted potatoes, fried eggs, or almost anything else that’s simply seasoned.

The word “salsa” is a generic term that designates both a music of Cuban origin, but also (and above all) a dance with a lively and popular tempo, known all over the world.There are different types of salsa: Puerto Rican salsa, Colombian salsa and Cuban salsa.It is this last one, the most famous of them,...

This Colombian Aji Sauce is the classic condiment served with empanadas. It is tangy and herby and you can make it spicy or mild.

This is a hot, spicy salsa typically served with empanadas and other foods as a condiment. It has more liquid than, say, a Mexican salsa. Prep time does not include 1 hour "marinating" time.

These savory bites are healthier than the traditional version and my Colombian friend says they are every bit as tasty.
