Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Aji panca is a dried red chili pepper. Before using it has to be seeded, de-veined and boiled three times changing the water to tame the heat. Then it can be processed in the blender with a little water or oil. It’s easier to buy aji panca in Latin American grocery stores throughout the U.S., or by ordering it online.
