👨🍳 Instructions

Prepare the aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat (around 175°C / 350°F). Add the finely diced yellow 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.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 2
Add the spices: Stir in the crushed dried oregano and ají panca paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and well combined with the onion and garlic mixture. This blooming process enhances their flavor.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Cook the blood: Pour the fresh chicken blood into the saucepan. Immediately begin stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or whisk. The blood will start to thicken and coagulate. Continue stirring constantly over medium-low heat to break up any large clumps and achieve a crumbly, sausage-like texture. Cook until the blood is fully set and no longer liquid, about 10-15 minutes. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Serve: Ladle the warm sangrecita into serving bowls. It is traditionally served hot, often accompanied by salsa criolla (a Peruvian relish of thinly sliced red onion, ají amarillo, lime juice, and cilantro) and crusty bread for dipping.
