The Aji Mirasol is the dried version of the Aji Amarillo. 'Mirasol' means 'looking at the sun' in Spanish, perhaps because the pepper grows towards the sun or because of its orange/yellow color. The Aji Amarillo is a South American chili pepper that's super popular, especially in Peru and Bolivia. In Peruvian cuisine, the Aji Amarillo, along with red onion and garlic, is part of the kitchen's 'holy trinity'. The Aji Mirasol is medium hot and is especially known for its delicious fruity aromas, which might remind you of a peach. This makes the pepper great in ceviche, salsa verde, or sauces.
Preparation
– First, toast the dried peppers in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. This helps release their essential oils and brings out more flavor. Next, rehydrate the dried peppers with hot water. Let them soak in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then slice or chop them to your desired size.
– You can also grind the dried peppers into flakes or powder.

To keep dried chili peppers fresh for a long time, store them in an airtight container in your pantry or, even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposing them to air, moisture, light, and heat, as this can cause them to discolor, mold, and lose flavor.
Dried peppers last a long time, but for the best flavor and heat, try to use them within a year. Click here for more info on storing and freezing dried chili peppers.
