Colombian aji picante

In South American cuisine, aji is the name for both a variety of chilli peppers and fresh salsa made with these peppers.

This Colombian recipe is known as salsa de aji picante, and it features two jalapeno peppers, making it pretty spicy.

Eight months before my son was born, I was working on a project in Colombia. One evening, my local host took me and the team to a Parrillada in the hills overlooking Bogata. The meat was awesome, but the salsas that accompanied the meat were mind-blowing. This is one of those salas.
