Lindsay’s Notes
This little green sauce is NUMMY central! She’s spicy, she’s versatile, and she is wanting to be put on every food you eat.Aji Verde is a Peruvian spicy green sauce that’s used as a table sauce – think drizzles, swoops, and dips on top of all your favorite things.
This takes these black bean tacos to the next level.
It is so fun as a swizzle on top of this plantain stew.
It’s so delightful as a condiment for scrambled eggs and hashbrowns – one of my favorite weekend breakfasts!
And I’m not above using it as a chip dip. Just ADDICTING.
I love a good green sauce (see also: basil sauce, magic green sauce, avocado mojo sauce). What makes this one unique is the creaminess that comes from the mayo and queso fresco (yum) and also the spice level. It is definitely a more pepper-forward sauce and packs a bit of heat, which you can scale up or down with the number of peppers you use.I made this using the ingredients that are readily available to me – instead of serranos, I often use jalapeños because they are easier for me to find. And I omit the more traditional additions of huacatay and aji amarillo pastes so I don’t have to make multiple trips around town or place any online orders for single-use ingredients.I just go with what I have (what you’ll see written here), and it’s irresistibly delicious. Prepare to have your whole life covered in this spicy Peruvian green sauce!
How To Make Aji Verde
Step 1: Put Everything in a Food Processor or Blender
Lots of good stuff here: cilantro, jalapeño, queso fresco, mayo, garlic, and lime juice.
Step 2: Blend It Up
You can choose how chunky (or not chunky) to make this! I prefer a smoother sauce for this one.
Step 3: Done! Enjoy!
This is great on tacos, bowls, salads, and just for dipping into with chips and veggies and crackers and literally EVERYTHING. It’s irresistible.Something brand new we added this week: a b***on to add all your ingredients to your Target cart! Just tap the b***on to get all these ingredients – it’ll create your list and pop you over to the Target app where you can just order it all for Drive Up. It’s literally the easy b***on! ♡ Print

Description
This Aji Verde is the most addicting spicy green sauce! It is SO good on tacos, bowls, salads, grilled meats and veggies, and my personal favorite – scrambled eggs and hash browns.
Ingredients
Units USM
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup mayo
3 ounces (a little chunk) queso fresco
1 jalapeño pepper (for a mild sauce, remove the ribs and seeds – you can also use a serrano pepper)
1 cup cilantro
2 cloves of garlic
juice of 1 lime
a pinch of salt, to taste
Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark
Instructions
Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth-ish. I like to go until it smoothly drips off a spoon – no more chunks but just a little bit of texture to it.
You’re done! Serve with grilled meats and veggies, tacos, salads, bowls, or just dip into it with some chips. It’s incredible.

Frequently Asked Questions For Aji Verde
What ingredients are in aji verde? Typically ingredients will include spicy peppers, cilantro, garlic, lime, and mayo and/or cheese to give it a creamy texture. Traditional aji verde might also include pepper-based pastes like huacatay or aji amarillo, but those can be more challenging to find depending on where you live. This version is made without them since they are not ingredients that are readily accessible to me. And even without them, this aji verde so delicious.What country does aji verde come from? Aji verde is a spicy Peruvian green sauce and has been made since the Incan Empire!What is the best way to serve aji verde? I love it as a topping for tacos, bowls, grilled meats and vegetables. It’s also exceptionally good with eggs and I *love* it in a breakfast bowl. Hashbrowns, fried eggs, and aji verde might be my perfect breakfast. And, it might not be traditional, but it’s so good that I will often find myself just dipping into it with chips or raw veggies.How long does the aji verde last as leftovers? It keeps pretty well! I usually keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for 5-7 days.How do you make this gluten-free and/or dairy-free? It is naturally gluten-free! To make it dairy-free, omit the cheese. (Still delicious, although you may find you want to add a bit of salt to make up for the lost salt with removing the cheese.)Can you make the aji verde without a blender or food processor? Yes! I could be wrong but I’m guessing the Incans were not out there making aji verde with their Vitamixes. To make without a blender, mince everything very finely, or grate it, and stir it up a in a small bowl. You could also use a mortar and pestle to grind up the herbs, garlic, etc. before mixing in with the rest of the ingredients. If you have a blender, though, I’d recommend this method because I love the smooth and creamy barely-flecked texture of it.

Putting together a Network-Attached Storage server is a popular intermediate-level project for Raspberry Pi tinkerers, and for good reason. A backup rig that barely sips any power and remains small enough to be carried eveyrwhere sounds really neat on paper. That said, its utility starts to shrink when you factor the Raspberry Pi’s ARM CPU, massively-inflated prices, low performance, and I/O limitations into the equation.

Your motherboard ships with the wrong fan curve, and fixing it takes 30 seconds
Most gamers these days know that they need to fix several default settings before their PC is ready to rumble.

However, many users still don't touch the default fan curves in the BIOS, and end up leaving performance on the table.

Qwen 3.8 27B was one of the most highly-anticipated open-weights releases that I've seen in a long time, and like many others, I immediately got to work testing it out and playing with it when it dropped. I'm running it on a single Lenovo ThinkStation PGX, the compact workstation built on Nvidia's GB10 Grace Blackwell chip, packing 128 GB of unified memory and 273 GB/s of bandwidth. Out of the box, it manages a fairly dull 15 to 30 tokens a second, but with an SGLang, NVFP4, and DFlash2 speculative-decoding setup that's become the standard recipe for this hardware, it can reach around 50 tokens a second on code and reasoning.

The tiny free PDF editor that changed how I edit files on Windows, Mac, and Linux
PDF editors are often too basic to be useful or overloaded with features, pop-ups, and subscription prompts. I wanted something lightweight that could handle the everyday jobs I actually care about, whether I was on a Windows desktop, MacBook Pro, or tinkering with a Linux machine in my home lab.

I connected a local LLM to a $30 ESP32 display, and it designs a new screen for every question I ask
Most smart displays come with a fixed set of screens, and you get whatever the team behind the firmware happened to think of. Usually that's a clock, the weather, a calendar, and after that you're stuck with it. I've used a few of these over the years and the pattern's...
Most smart displays come with a fixed set of screens, and you get whatever the team behind the firmware happened to think of. Usually that's a clock, the weather, a calendar, and after that you're stuck with it. I've used a few of these over the years and the pattern's always the same; they're mostly cookie-cutter devices, nothing more and nothing less.

I moved my self-hosted library to Jellyfin while its future is argued about, because I own it either way
There has been a lot of talk in the self-hosted media community about Jellyfin's future. Some core team volunteers for the open-source project left, and development has stalled (ish). But past the headlines, it's clear that Jellyfin server and client development has continued to grow rapidly for an open-source project.

I also love generative music composition. So bringing those two things together in a browser tab, I'm hooked. Musical Spirograph is a relatively simple concept. A set of points dash around the screen according to mathematical equations, generating hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. Those points pass through a series of concentric rings which trigger specific notes.Honestly, that alone is fun enough, but you can customize it quite a bit.

I turned on IPv6 to future-proof my network, and it quietly wrecked my latency

In my latest move a few months ago, I had to transition to a new ISP, and with that transition came the dreaded carrier grade NAT jail cell. My IPv4 was essentially blocked from self-hosting anything I expected to be accessible from outside my home network, but the good news is: my ISP does supply a dedicated IPv6 for me. I turned it on and started binding some services to it, and while those mostly worked without a hitch, I began seeing unusual behavior from my non-IPv6 applications.
