Notes
It should last a week in the fridge, sealed.
- Pepper Note: Use Chilean aji cristal if you can find them. I used aji amarillos, or use jalapeños or serranos.
- Pebre de Merkén: For a smoky version, stir in about 1 teaspoon of merkén, the smoky Chilean chili seasoning. Start with less and add more to taste.
- Lemon Option: Many Chilean cooks use fresh lemon juice in place of some or all of the vinegar for a citrusy flavor.
- Optional Additions: Consider adding cumin, paprika, or balsamic or red wine vinegars.
