Where to buy aji amarillo?

[Gadget]

Hey all,

I'm making a recipe that calls for aji amarillo paste. Anyone know where I can find this in L.A.?

Thanks much.

Is it possible to get fresh ones in LA?

I've never seen fresh. You can get canned or puree at Palms Market in Culver City. I have seen Chile Manzana in Mexican markets, which I've heard is cousin to the south american Rocoto

ricardo zarate at Picca Peru and Mo-Chica has told me he gets it fresh but never got around to finding his source though, but likely not retail

you can buy them locally at Jons and Food4Less, which have both the can peppers which you can make into a paste or have the premade paste http://www.theravenouscouple.com/2009...

sounds like peruvian ceviche to me... Border Grill recipe, perhaps?
Anyway, Baja Ranch markets in Monrovia and West Covina carry it... I'm sure other latin-themed markets do as well.

Also check out catalina market on Western just south of Santa monica, and possibly carniceria argentina market on Victory just west of Colfax. both have imported goods from Peru -

Vallarta or Northgate supermarkets.
