Amazing! I absolutely love this recipe! I have used it on chicken, steak, shrimp and tacos and everyone I have served it to raves.

I just made this by following your recipe exactly as written, and it is phenomenal!!! Thank you for this. I used to have to buy this from our local Peruvian restaurant when I wanted it, and now I can make it anytime I want!

I have made this recipe over two dozen times. It’s always a solid favorite! I wanted a creamier for veggies this time, so I added an avocado. OMG! SO AWESOME…!!!

I lived in Peru for many years – I always add aji Amarillo paste (you can buy on Amazon) and I cut the garlic in half.

Change the title already … spicy Toledo oh green sauce.
Have you ever been to Peru? Zero! ZERO jalapeño’s you won’t find them. They have their own peppers Rocoto and Aji Amarillo. Ones red ones orange… NONE are green. Sauce is fine quit calling it Peruvian

Absolutely delicious! Used it on tacos and stirred the rest into some leftover macaroni. Made a slam dunk pasta salad! Threw in black beans and corn. Fantastic recipe and a great way to use up an abundance of cilantro.

I could swim in this. Such flavour and so delicious. Think I’ll be adding this to almost everything.

Had aji verde for the first time 2 days ago and was enthralled!
Today I took some EXTRA HOT New Mexican Green Chiles that had been lingering in the freezer for a couple of years and skinned and seeded them, then puréed. Put by the teaspoon in small freezer tray. Used what was left in the blender jar, added a large crushed clove of garlic, 1/2 lemon juiced, and a dab of salt. Then finished off the nice bunch of cilantro to blend. Added the last of the avocado mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt to the blender jar to finish the recipe.
Tastes very similar to what I had at the Peruvian restaurant!!!
Very pleased with the results :)
