Aji Panca (Panca Chili) paste is a silky, fruity Peruvian chili paste made from dried aji panca peppers. It brings deep, smoky-sweet flavours with mild heat—think ripe berry, sun-dried tomato, and subtle raisin notes—plus a rich red-brown colour that enhances sauces, marinades, stews, and dressings without overpowering other ingredients. Versatile and pantry-friendly, it dissolves easily into braises, adds warm complexity to grilled meats and seafood, and lifts roasted vegetables, rice, and beans with a gentle, smoky tang.
Use a spoonful to deepen the base of soups like seco or chupe, fold it into mayonnaise or yogurt for a creamy, slightly smoky dip, or mix with olive oil and lime for a bright, Peruvian-style marinade. Mild enough for most palates, aji panca paste is perfect for home cooks who want authentic South American flavour without intense heat—a comforting, flavourful bridge between home and faraway tastes.
