Ají de Maracuyá
Spicy Passion Fruit Sauce with a Peruvian Twist
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh passion fruit pulp (with seeds or strained, as preferred)
2 yellow chili peppers (ají amarillo), seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance tartness)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add red onion and garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the chopped yellow chilies and continue to cook for another 3–4 minutes until softened.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the passion fruit pulp, vinegar or lime juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Blend until smooth. For a thinner sauce, add 1–2 tablespoons of water.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can strain the sauce for a smoother texture, or leave it chunky for a rustic finish.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a dipping sauce, grilled meat topping, or as a bright side for seafood.
