Ají de Gallina - labradors - 02-09-2014 Another packaged mix they had at the new Supermarket was Ají de Gallina - a Peruvian chicken stew. In addition to that, the actually had the jar of ají amarillo paste used to make the dish from scratch. Not knowing, at all, how it should taste, I tried the packaged mix first. It was delicious, so I know I'd have to get the paste and make the dish from scratch. Apart from not getting the sauce as thick as I would have liked (due to ambiguities among the various Peruvian recipes I consulted for making the translation), this was a wonderful dish that, along with the Carapulcra I mentioned earlier, makes me want to move to Peru. WOW! Even though the packaged mix was outstanding, this (as one would expect from something from scratch) was on another level. In fact, since this was SO good and since the ají amarillo is even scrumptious as a condiment, I've bought four more jars of the stuff (around here, you never know when something you may like may disappear forever). Here's my photo from tonight's dinner: I have posted the recipe on GroupRecipes. Re: Ají de Gallina - cjs - 02-09-2014 Off to check this out!!!
