America's Test Kitchen
Servings 0.66 cups

Zippy ají sauces are mandatory with pollo a la brasa, and they're not just for the chicken: Peruvians also pour them all over the salad and fries that share the plate. This one is mayonnaise-based and bolstered with gutsy seasonings such as garlic, ají amarillo paste, lime, and huacatay paste.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ají amarillo paste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic - minced
  • 1 teaspoon jarred huacatay paste

Instructions 

  • Combine all ingredients in blender and process until smooth, about 1 minute. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
