Peruvian Yellow Pepper Sauce image

Adapted from the Barbecue Bible Sauces Rubs and Marinades. This is an adaptation of Aji Amarillo Sauce with ingredients that may be a little easier to find. This is a good sauce to serve with grilled meat, poultry or seafood, or in recipes that call for Aji Amarillo Sauce. You can substitute additional vinegar for the lime juice.
