Casa Verde Note: This is a Peruvian staple in the culinary world of Peruvian cooking. An ancient pepper, which is considered part of its condiment trinity together with red onion and coriander. This plant is extremely productive and can take a lengthy time to ripen, so make sure to start in February in Canada. Pods are medium- to thin-walled, has a unique flavor, and a versatile pepper to work with.
Rich in color and flavor, the aji amarillo pepper is an integral part of Peru’s culinary culture. As its name suggests—aji meaning chili pepper and amarillo translating to yellow—the pod starts off with a distinct hue before ripening into bright orange hues as it matures. A member of Capsicum baccatum, which consists of five domesticated species cultivated throughout Latin America, this 4-5-inch-long chile packs serious heat, registering between 30K and 50K on the Scoville Heat Unit scale; but don’t let that scare you away! The spicy kick is balanced by hints of fruity notes like passion fruit or mango for added complexity, alluring enough to elevate any dish from ordinary to extraordinary.
