Aji Sauce


Well, I'm just taking a wild stab here, but _The_Whole_Chile
_Pepper_Book_ has a recipe for Papas a la Huancaina that is
a dish of boiled potatoes topped with cheese and a sauce that
is probably light green and creamy. Here's the sauce part:

Combine 2 Aji' or 3 Jalapen~o chiles, stems and seeds removed
and chopped, 1 cup queso blanco or Munster cheese, and 1 cup
heavy cream in a blender and puree until smooth. Heat 2 tablespoons of
olive oil and slowly add the cheese mixture, stirring constantly.
Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes or until it thickens.

If the sauce you remember didn't have cheese in it, try omitting
it.

Good luck in finding an authoritative answer,
