Rocoto Paste La Latina 225 g

Rocoto is the chili pepper of the Andes. It's very spicy, but with a fruity and meaty flavor that no European chili can reproduce. In Peruvian cuisine, it is a structural ingredient, not a last-minute addition.

This paste gives you rocoto ready to use: ground, without seeds or veins, with the spiciness already balanced. A teaspoon goes a long way, start with a little.

How to use:

• Base for ají de gallina, rocoto relleno, and criollo stews

• Sauces for papa a la huancaína and ocopa

• Enhancer in ceviches, leche de tigre, and causas

• Marinades for chicken, pork, and anticuchos

• Mixed with mayonnaise or cream for a quick sauce

Spiciness level: high. Rocoto is spicier than ají amarillo and less spicy than habanero.
