Peruvian Green Sauce

Cultural Context

Originating in Peru, Aji Verde is a vibrant green sauce made primarily from cilantro and jalapeños. It's a staple condiment served with grilled meats and roasted potatoes, reflecting the country's love for bold flavors. Today, it has gained popularity beyond Peru, often appearing in Latin American restaurants and home kitchens worldwide, celebrated for its zesty and refreshing taste.
