The Whole Chile Pepper Book by Dave DeWitt & Nancy Gerlach (Little,
Brown & Co) has a couple of Peruvian recipes - this is one of them:
Peruvian Anticuchos
3 Aji chiles, chopped
3 tbsp dried crushed chiles (eg piquins)
1 tbsp achiote (annatto seed - or use tumeric)
1.5 tsp cumin seed
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves chopped garlic
.75 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
freshly groung black pepper
The recipe uses 3-4lb of 1" beef cubes but chicken works well too.
Heat the oil and add the annatto and cumin, cook for 5 mins. Strain the
oil and discard seeds.
Blend all ingredients (except the meat) until smooth, then use as a
marinade for the meat, refrigerated overnight.
Put meat on skewers then grill or barbeque until cooked, basting
frequently with the marinade.

Hotheadz is a truly excellent company. Best source of CH stuff in the
UK
as far as I can see. Has anyone else bought their Peruvian aji
collection? It consists of about half a dozen different types of
fascinating looking chiles, which unfortunately I don't know what to do
with...<whine> Maybe it's time for a mega killer-chili...unless anyone
has
any Peruvian recipes?
