This Peruvian Green Sauce, also known as Aji Verde, is so amazing and so crazy easy to make. I first fell in love with this sauce at a local Peruvian restaurant in my city. It was a place my coworkers and I frequented during lunch breaks and the chicken, the green sauce, the beans, and the plantains are all so amazing.

I tried various versions of this sauce and fell in love with this version. I love to pour this green sauce over my Peruvian Roasted Chicken. It also goes good with any meat dish you make. I’m talking pork chops, fish, steak…the possibilities are endless.

How long does Green Sauce last?

In the fridge, it can last for up to one week. Consider storing it in a canning jar.

I hope you enjoy this green sauce as much as we do.
