Aji (food)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aji is a spicy sauce that often contains tomatoes, cilantro, hot peppers, and onions. Recipes vary dramatically from table to table, depending on the preference of the chef. In Ecuador, for example, food is traditionally mild, so aji can be added to almost any dish. It usually accompanies other foods such as Chugchucaras or Empanadas.
