Dried Panca chilies 100g

Aji Panca (capsicum chinense), ají colorado or also called ají especial, is the second most widespread chili in Peruvian cuisine (after yellow chili). It has a fruity and aromatic smoky flavor and a mild lingering heat, which adds good and deep flavor nuances to many dishes.

Aji Panca is used to give a delicious deep red color to soups and stews, and it can also be used as a wonderful marinade that is amazingly delicious on grilled chicken or pork chops. Examples of Peruvian dishes with aji panca are: Picante de Cuy (spicy guinea pig) and the very famous Anticuchos.

Clean the chillies and cook them for 10 min, pour them into a blender with a little oil and blend until they are incorporated as a paste. Use: as a spice for marinating all kinds of meat and for stews.
