👨🍳 Instrukcje

Prepare the aromatics: Wash the ají peppers (or jalapeños), cilantro, and scallions thoroughly. For the peppers, carefully remove the stems. If you prefer less heat, slice them open and scrape out the seeds and white membranes. Finely chop the peppers. Wash the cilantro and finely chop both leaves and tender stems. Trim the roots from the scallions and thinly slice the white and green parts.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped ají peppers, chopped cilantro, and sliced scallions. Add the fresh lime juice and water. Season with salt.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Mix and rest: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice. For the flavors to meld, let the ají sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before serving. This allows the ingredients to release their juices and flavors.
