FEBRUARY ARE CHILI DAYS

Editors at The Chili Lab’s picks for the month

INSIGHT: AJI AMARILLO PEPPER

[Uchukuta in Quechua language] This enchanting pepper hails from South America--most recognizably from Peru, where it is the go-to chili for traditional recipes.

When fresh, the chili is bright yellow in color (thus, the name) and frequently made into a paste to flavor sauces and stews.

Pairing: Pineapple, Pork, Mint, Cilantro, Coconut, Lamb
