The so-called Ají Verde sauce served in many Peruvian restaurants in anglophone America is essentially a fusion of Peruvian, Mexican, and North American cuisine. It's not really something you'd find in Peru at all but well worth making because it's absolutely divine. A true magical sauce that goes well with any grain bowl or grilled goods, such as steak, grilled veggies, or my favorite: Pollo a La Brasa (Peruvian Grilled Chicken).

It's not a fusion and has nothing to do with Mexico. The Aji Verde or peruvian green sauce is designed to complement the peruvian roasted chicken and some peruvian dishes as Anticuchos. It's very common in Peru and peruvian cuisine. Difference is the grassroots peruvian style prefers fresh ingredients as fresh cheese for example. Of course in Peru they use the "Ajis" or peruvian chilis which are unique in flavour. However, due to avaliability in food markets in USA they adapted the recipe using some mexican chilis. That's it. As a concept, the recipe is 100% peruvian. However if it's going to be prepared in Russia or France, the US, or any other country of course they are going to use the available ingredients of the region. Still the recipe is 100% peruvian. Cheers!

Don't use mayo.

@reeferfranklin

For anyone looking to make a lower calorie version, substitute full-fat Greek yogurt for the oil and substitute nonfat Greek yogurt for the mayo & use salt to make up for any flavor lost in these substitutions.

I love this recipe. I add 3 jalapeños instead of 2, I also add sour cream, chicken bouillon, salt & pepper

I found you after I made this sauce for the first time to see how pourable it should be. Lol. I made mine with Greek yogurt and kept the seeds because I love heat! It’s so beautiful! Lol

Aloha from Hawaii! I look forward to trying this sauce. There was a really nice chicken place here in Hawaii called Restaurant Limon, unfortunately they closed during the pandemic. Their green sauce was amazing. It was perfect on their chicken but I would use it on their yucca fries! It was so ono! Mahalo for sharing your recipe. I will subscribe to your channel.
