Peruvian Aji Amarillo Cheese Sauce image

A cheese sauce that goes well with Peruvian/Latin American foods. I learned the recipe from an elderly Peruvian woman! Especially good with Peruvian 'Lomos Saltado,' or as a topping for baked potatoes and hard-boiled eggs. If you want it spicier, leave a few of the seeds with the peppers.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this sauce wasn't too hot for me. It had just the right amount of heat.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some milk to thin it out, and it was perfect.

I found the sauce to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

The sauce was a bit spicier than I expected, but still very good. Next time I'll use less aji amarillo paste.
