Rocoto Chilli Paste comes from blending up spicy Peruvian chillies. Like many important components of global dishes, they would usually make it fresh as and when they need it. This is quite often not possible when access to the chilli peppers you need is difficult at best! The next best thing is this paste which is easy to use and delicious. Rocoto chillies are pretty spicy and have been compared to habanero chillies in terms of heat level. This comes in at a 3/3 for heat, satisfying many heat seekers out there. We’d always recommend trying a little first to gauge how much you want to use!
Rocoto Chilli Paste keeps all the flavours of the chilli peppers which are fruity, tangy and hot. Not only is it great for adding an authentic flavour to South American dishes, you can use it wherever you like to bring the heat. This paste is a great place to start when making your own sauces or for adding to sauces like mayonnaise if you want a creamier condiment. Great for adding flavour and heat to your soups and stews and much more besides.
