<\/p>\nAji Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 whole lime, juiced<\/p>\n
2 T. olive oil<\/p>\n
1\/2 C. good-quality mayonnaise, (such as Hellmann’s)<\/p>\n
3 ounces queso fresco or blanco<\/p>\n
2 serrano peppers, ends trimmed<\/p>\n
1 bunch cilantro (remove leaves from stems for blenders other than vitamix)<\/p>\n
4 garlic cloves, peeled<\/p>\n
2 green onions, ends trimmed and roughly chopped<\/p>\n
2 tsp. huacatay paste, (optional)<\/p>\n
1 T. aji amarillo paste, (optional)<\/p>\n
1\/4 tsp. kosher salt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To a blender, add the lime juice, olive oil, cheese, mayonnaise, serrano peppers, cilantro leaves, garlic cloves, green onions, huacatay paste, aji amarillo and salt. Blend for about 1 to 2 minutes, until very smooth. At first the cilantro leaves won’t be totally smooth, but keep the blender running and it will eventually become cohesive and smooth. Give it a taste and adjust the salt according to your liking. Keeps in the fridge for up to a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
