What is peanuts?
Ají de Maní is an indigenous spicy sauce in the Popayan region in Colombia. It is a must to serve with Empanadas de Pipian and Tamales de Pipian. Personally I love this delicious sauce with fresh vegetables or grilled chicken.
My American husband eats this sauce as a dive with the ritz crackers and says it is really good. However, you use it, it’s a wonderful spicy sauce recipe.
