Gastón Acurio began to study traditional Peruvian flavors, which reflected the cultural diversity of his country, from the Andes to the Amazon. Gastón Acurio wanted a simple life: To open a single restaurant where he could share his passion for cooking with his family and friends.
The dishes that define Acurio are many and varied, but they all share one theme, that is, the diversity of Peruvian cuisine.
A versatile Peruvian sauce recipe, this aji amarillo sauce is made with fresh aji peppers and brings a nice level of spice to fried or roasted vegetables and any grilled meats. It’s a wonderful table sauce. For the paste, add all of the ingredients to a food processor and process until nice a thick paste forms.
