Rocoto Chile Paste is also known as Uchi in the native South American language of Quechua. This paste is made with red rocoto peppers, one of the most common types of peppers in South America, and an incredibly important ingredient in Peruvian cuisine. Rocoto Chile Paste has a hot and fruity flavor, which makes it flexible enough that many Peruvians add it to most foods they eat. The spicy and sweet flavor also makes it a great base for many dishes once it has been mixed with sauteed onions, garlic, and herbs. Rocoto Chile Paste can be used in sauces to flavor meats, rice, or pasta, and can be used in marinades for any type of meat.
