- 2 tbsp Ají mirasol paste(Dried Peruvian yellow chili paste, providing a fruity flavor and moderate heat. Available at Latin American markets or online.)
- 1 medium Yellow onion(Finely chopped.)
- 6 cloves Garlic(Minced.)
- 100 ml Chicha de jora(Fermented corn beverage from Peru. If unavailable, a dry white wine or a splash of lime juice can be substituted, though it will alter the authentic flavor.)

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the flavor base: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 2
Incorporate the chili pastes: Stir in the ají panca and ají mirasol pastes. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes to toast the pastes and deepen their flavor. This step is crucial for developing the soup's characteristic color and aroma.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Build the broth: Pour in the fish stock and the chicha de jora. Stir well to combine everything, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Simmer and infuse: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the broth simmer gently for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 5
Cook the seafood: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the mixed seafood to the simmering broth. Cook until the seafood is just cooked through and opaque. Mussels and clams should have opened (discard any that remain closed). This will only take about 5-8 minutes, depending on the size and type of seafood.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 6
Serve immediately: Ladle the hot Parihuela into bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous amount of seafood. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
