Peruvian style dry yellow hot pepper paste.
 
Aji mirasol, also known as mirasol chili or dried mirasol, is a type of chili pepper commonly used in Latin American cuisine, particularly in countries like Peru. The term "aji" refers to chili peppers in South America, and "mirasol" translates to "looking at the sun" in Spanish, which describes the way the peppers grow, facing the sun.
 
The aji mirasol chili pepper is typically medium-sized and elongated, with a vibrant red color when ripe. However, it is commonly used in its dried form, where it takes on a dark red or burgundy color. Drying the chili intensifies its flavor and slightly alters its taste, making it less fruity and smoky with a mild to medium heat level, depending on the variety.
 
The aji mirasol is commonly used in various Peruvian dishes to add flavor, color, and gentle heat.  Aji mirasol can be used in stews, soups, rice dishes, and many other Peruvian and Latin American recipes to add depth of flavor and a gentle kick of heat. It's a popular and beloved chili variety in Peruvian cuisine and has gained recognition among food enthusiasts worldwide.
