Aji Amarillo Paste image

This is a condiment common in Peruvian cuisine. It is made from aji amarillo chilies which are quite hot. They are equivalent to the cayenne pepper, tabasco pepper, and the cumari (or Chinese) pepper. So they are hotter than a Serrano, but not as hot as Thai or Indian peppers or a Scotch Bonnet or Habanero.
