Recipe: Chile Garlic Paste (Peru) (blender or food processor)

Toppings - Assorted
CHILE GARLIC PASTE (PERU)

AJI:
1 cup small dried chiles
2 cups boiling water
6 to 8 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt

Remove stems from chiles (and seeds, if you wish to tame the heat slightly). Crumble chiles coarsely, then cover with boiling water and let soak 30 minutes or so. Drain chiles, reserving some of the soaking water.

In blender or food processor, puree garlic. Add chiles and puree into as smooth a paste as possible, adding a tiny bit of the soaking water.

With machine on, add olive oil and salt, to taste. (Keep your face away from the opening of the processor; the fumes are strong.)

Advance Preparation:
Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. May also be frozen or put up in canning jars.

Description: Very, very hot

Makes 2 cups
