Ecuadorian Aji Casero

Ecuadorian Aji Casero

Ecuadorian aji casero is a vibrant, freshly prepared hot sauce that's a staple condiment in Ecuador's cuisine. This zesty sauce combines the heat of fresh hot peppers (typically tree chilis or aji criollo) with the brightness of lime juice, the crunch of finely diced red onions, and the freshness of cilantro.


To make aji casero, the peppers are minced and combined with diced onions, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a splash of water. 


Some versions incorporate tomatoes or even a touch of orange juice for sweetness. The ingredients are mixed together and allowed to sit briefly, letting the flavors meld. This versatile sauce brightens everything from empanadas and llapingachos to soups and grilled meats.
