Tips
*Aji Amarillo is a Peruvian hot yellow pepper that can be found in Hispanic markets in jars, as a paste or frozen whole. For whole aji amarillo, peel, seed and purée in a blender with a small amount of vegetable oil; use as directed.
**Instead of tuna, substitute 2 cups shredded or chopped chicken, diced lobster meat or steamed chopped vegetables such as fennel or spinach.
