AJI (COLOMBIAN SALSA)
A tangy fresh Colombian-style salsa which can be made delicious either mild or XXX hot! Goes great with grilled meats, empanadas, and tostones, but I put it on everything... even my eggs! There seem to be several variations of this; some watery, some oily, some saucy, some chunky, but my mom is from Barranquilla, Colombia and this is how she makes it.

AVOCADO SALSA
Fresh tomatillos bring tanginess to this silky avocado salsa, and that acidity keeps the blend green even after days in the fridge. For more heat, double the chiles and keep all their seeds. If you don't have a food processor, you can make this in a blender, but you may need to add a splash of water to purée the ingredients at the start.

Steps:
- Combine the tomatillos, onion, epazote, chiles, lime juice and salt in a food processor or mortar. Process or pound until very smooth. Add the avocado and pulse or pound until smooth. Taste, and add more lime juice and salt, if desired.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against its surface for up to 3 days. Use as a dip for chips, or drizzle over scrambled eggs, tacos, burritos or tortas. Spoon over grilled seafood, steak, chicken, pork or vegetables.
AJí (COLOMBIAN-STYLE FRESH SALSA)
Colombian food is typically not spicy on its own. Instead, a hot sauce called ají - also the Colombian word for chiles - is served tableside. There are as many types of ají as there are regions in Colombia, but this version, heavy on cilantro and onions, is a good all-purpose sauce that goes especially well with fried foods. Many ají recipes include some white vinegar or lime juice. I prefer using plain water to dilute mine, and I serve lime wedges on the side for diners to add at their discretion. This recipe uses half an onion and half a tomato; use the other half for empanadas.

Steps:
- Finely mince the cilantro, onion, scallions and chile by hand, or by roughly chopping, then pulsing in a food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Working directly in the medium bowl and using a flat palm to press the cut side of the tomato against the large holes of a box grater, grate the tomato until you're left with just the skin. (The skin should protect your hand from the grater.) Discard the skin.
- Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a few tablespoons of water. Squeeze with lime juice to taste. Stir to combine. The ají should be quite thin in texture. Add more water as necessary. Taste and season with more salt, if desired. Finished ají can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the avocados by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are smooth and creamy.
- Add more or less jalapeño pepper to taste. If you like spicy salsa, add more jalapeño. If you prefer a milder salsa, add less.
- You can also add other ingredients to your salsa, such as diced tomatoes, onions, or cilantro.
- Serve your salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Colombian avocado salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is especially popular as a topping for tacos, burritos, and nachos. This salsa is also a great way to use up ripe avocados. So next time you have some avocados on hand, give this recipe a try!
