Here is how we use the mini Aji Amarillo we grow (again, see Barb's photo for how the peppers look when they are immature).
1. At the immature yellow-green stage (Barb's photo) we use them as frying peppers. They are very mild, and slightly fruity. In frying pepper mixes they contrast nicely with darker frying peppers (the ones we use are Padron, Aleppo and Mareko Fana)
2. While we sell some mature orange peppers, our main use for the mature peppers is roasting. I roast them at low heat until they become golden-brown. Then they are used year round in cooking. I use roasted Aji Amarillo flake almost as much as black pepper...
Here is an
article on Aji Amarillo.
