The correct spelling is AJI and it is the national condiment of Peru. Unlike most other pepper sauces aji contains no vinegar like say Tabasco or Red Hot brands. It is simple to make right at home. The longer it sits the better it becomes. The heat can be regulated by removing the seeds for a little heat, leaving 'em all in for a lot of heat, or someplace between by leaving some in. Here's the simple recipe!
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, stems removed
1 bunches cilantro, stems removed
1/2 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic minced fine
1 chopped shallot
3-6 jalapenos, quartered
1/2 teaspoon salt
water, as needed
1 squirt bottle
5 minutes 5 mins prep
In a blender or food processer pulse all ingrediets together.
Add water only as needed until it’s well blended but not runny.

Ahi Tuna Tower
Makes 4 servings
FOR THE TUNA
8 ounces (1 cup) diced Saku Maguro/ sushi grade ahi tuna
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha chile sauce
1 teaspoon tamari soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon chopped green onion
1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar
In a mixing bowl combine tuna and remaining ingredients. Adjust seasonings to taste with additional sriracha and soy sauce. Place tuna in refrigerator for later use.
FOR THE VEGETABLES
1/4 cup finely chopped European cucumbers
1/4 cup finely chopped avocado
1/4 cup finely chopped daikon radish
2 teaspoon minced cilantro
1/4 teaspoon toasted black sesame seeds
2 teaspoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
Peel cucumbers and daikon; cut each into very small dices. Place in a small bowl. Cut avocado in half, remove its seed and dice very small. Add to cucumber mixture; stir in cilantro, sesame seeds and vinegar to season.
Assembly:
To form tower, use a 2-inch diameter 2-inch tall cylinder or a small tomato paste can opened at both ends (a small coffee cup will also work.)
Place cylinder on an appetizer plate, spoon one heaping tablespoon of tuna into cylinder, spoon one heaping tablespoon of vegetable mixture into cylinder. Then top with tuna. Press mixture firmly into cylinder to mold. Lift cylinder up pressing down on tuna with a spoon so tuna tower remains on the plate.
Garnish with a pinch of pickled ginger, Wasabi paste or Tobiko (wasabi caviar), radish sprouts and drizzle of Sriracha chile sauce.
