Peruvian spicy green sauce made with cilantro and hot peppers

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.

Colombian Ají is the Colombian salsa of my dreams: vinegary, acidic, spicy in just the right amount, vegetable-forward and customizable.

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.

5-Minute Aji, also known as Colombian-Style Salsa, is our favorite salsa OF ALL TIME. I am a big salsa girl, so don't take that statement lightly. It is perfect with tortilla chips, on top of meat, potatoes, rice, eggs, or really, put it on ANYTHING.
