Great recipe for Basil Crema de Ají. If you've ever had Peruvian food, you might have tasted these simple but addictively delicious baby potatoes with a spicy cream sauce they call crema de ají (pronounced CREHmah deh Ah-HEE), ají meaning chili pepper. Well I happen to have a few Russets that.
To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have basil crema de ají using 9 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Basil Crema de Ají:
- Take 1/2 cup yogurt
- Make ready 1/2 cup mayo
- Make ready 1/2 cup packed basil leaves, chopped
- Prepare 1 clove garlic, minced
- Take 1 hot chili pepper, chopped (Peruvian yellow chilies are ideal, but 1/2 a sm habanero or whole Thai or Serrano would work, too)
- Prepare 1 Tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
- Get 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Make ready 1/4-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Make ready 1/4-1/2 teaspoon sugar
Add sour cream, garlic and salt and process until combined. Well I happen to have a few Russets that have been laying around for a few weeks. I guess he didn't want to come to the door because of my little miniature schnauzer. The sauce made with Aji Amarillo as above is the yellow sauce.
Steps to make Basil Crema de Ají:
- Whiz it all in a blender (or with a stick blender) until it's smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed and whiz a few more seconds if you do just to make sure everything's evenly distributed.
- If you like a slightly creamier texture, try using 3/4 cup mayo and 1/4 cup yogurt. You could also use sour cream instead of the yogurt, but yogurt's what I had on hand. Serve with steamed, boiled or roasted potatoes. Also delicious with roasted asparagus, among others. :)
Green Aji sauce substitutes jalapenos for Aji Amarillo and adds cilantro for spice. Garlic is also commonly an ingredient in both types of aji sauce. Huacatay, called Peruvian black mint, is also often part of the recipe for yellow aji sauce. Ají de gallina is one of these traditional dishes: Poached chicken slathered in a spicy and creamy nut-based sauce is served over white rice and boiled potatoes. Bright yellow—amarillo—in color thanks to the famous ají amarillo, and rich from the unusual sauce of ground walnuts, this dish is hearty, filling, and also really easy to make.
