Description

The Aji Mirasol is the dried version of the Aji Amarillo. Mirasol means "looking at the sun" in Spanish, possibly because the pepper grows toward the sun or because of its orange/yellow color. The Aji Amarillo is a South American chili pepper that is especially popular in Peru and Bolivia. In Peruvian cuisine, the Aji Amarillo is part of the "holy trinity" in cooking along with red onion and garlic. The Aji Mirasol is medium hot and is best known for its delicious fruity aromas, reminiscent of a peach. This makes the pepper delicious in cheviche, salsa verde or sauces.

Preparation
- Fry the dried chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. This will release the essential oils and impart more flavor. Then soak the dried chilies with hot water. Soak them in hot water for 15/20 minutes and then cut/chop into desired size.
- Grind the dried chilies into flakes/flakes or powder.

To keep dried chilies good for a long time, store them in an airtight container in the pantry or even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposure to air, moisture, light and heat; this can cause the dried chilies to discolor, mold and diminish their flavor.

The dried chilies have a long shelf life, but for optimal flavor and spiciness, do not store them for more than a year. Click here for more information on storing and freezing dried chilies.

In the summer season (May-November) the Aji Amarillo peppers are grown in the Netherlands in our own greenhouses. In the winter season (November-April) they are grown in Spain & Morocco by our own growers.

The Aji Amarillo peppers are dried at our location in 's-Gravenzande in a special drying cell. We do this mainly when we have enough of the chilies in stock. Therefore, this product may not be available for a longer period of time.
