Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, combine all of the ingredients. Blend until the cilantro has broken into very tiny pieces and the sauce is green and mostly smooth (no matter how long you blend it, it will still have some texture to it).
- Taste, and adjust if necessary. This sauce is intentionally bold and spicy and I usually think it's just right as written. However, if the flavor is too overwhelming, blend in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while running the food processor. If it's not spicy enough, add some of the reserved jalapeño seeds and blend again. If it doesn't have enough zip, add another tablespoon of lime juice and/or a pinch of salt.
- Aji verde keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 1 week.

Steps:
- Fill a medium pot with sufficient water to cover the chicken breast and bring to the boil. Cook the chicken for about 25 minutes over medium heat. Remove from the pot and once it's cool enough, shred the breast. Set aside. Use the broth or chicken stock to soak the bread rolls until they've absorbed enough and blend in a food processor to create a bread puree.
- Cut the ají amarillo chili peppers in half and remove the veins (ribs) and seeds. Holding them with a tong, grill the peppers directly on a high heat flame until the skin is cooked and black in parts. Rinse the peppers and remove the skin, then chop roughly.
- In a frying pan, add some vegetable oil and lightly fry the ají peppers, chopped white or red onion, garlic and pecans. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend.
- Pour the contents of the blender into a frying pan and add the shredded breast. Stir well and cook until it achieves the right consistency. Add the grated parmesan cheese and the evaporated milk just before turning off the heat.
- Boil the potatoes, unpeeled and with 3 tablespoons of salt and leave to cool.
- Boil the eggs until hard and leave to cool.
- Place a lettuce leaf on the plate, followed by 4 generous slices of potato per serving and a portion of rice. Serve over the white rice and potatoes. Serve with one or two slices of boiled egg and black olives.

PERUVIAN AJI-STYLE SAUCE
I got this recipe from a restaurant in California 10 years ago. It's been a staple in my refrigerator ever since. It's excellent with rotisserie chicken. You can lower the calories if you stream in olive oil in replace of the mayo.

PERUVIAN GREEN CHILE SAUCE (AJI VERDE)
This is one of my favorite dips for bread. I also use it as a condiment for grilled steaks and pork chops. It's smooth, spicy, and very addictive! If you want even more spice, add additional jalapeno peppers.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Rub the chicken on all sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each piece of chicken registers 160 degrees F, 35 to 45 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes.
- For the sauce: Place the bread and half-and-half in the bowl of a food processor. Allow the bread to soak up the liquid, about 10 minutes.
- In a 10-inch nonstick skillet heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Cool slightly and add to the food processor with the soaked bread. Add the broth, cheeses, 1/2 cup walnuts, Aji Amarillo paste, and turmeric. Blend until smooth. Pour the sauce back into the skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
- Spoon some of the sauce on a platter and arrange the chicken on top. Sprinkle with the remaining toasted walnuts and cilantro (or parsley, if using) and serve.
- Cook's Note: To toast the walnuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
AJÍ DE CHILE - PERUVIAN
Steps:
- Roast jalapeños in cast iron pan. Peel and seed. Roast chile de arbol. You can save /roast seeds or you can throw away if you don't want it too spicy. Slice the peppers into strips and place into blender. Heat oil in saute pan under medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. Add garlic and saute for a short time. Do not allow the garlic to over cook, just sizzle. Add onion/garlic mixture to the blender and blend to mix and chop ingredients. Add salt to ingredients in blender. Add half of the chopped cilantro (TIP: the stems are the best part!) to the blender with 1-2 tablespoons of water. Slowly blend cilantro into the pepper mixture. As the mixture becomes a paste, add more cilantro and 1-2 tablespoons more water only if needed. Do not over dilute. When mixture is almost to a paste, test flavor and add salt as needed. Do not over salt! Spoon mixture out of blender container, into small bowl. Add olive oil and juice from lemon and stir. Flavor improves over night.
