Olive oil is very tasty and it has very low saturated fats.~,`

James LOVES this recipie. when ever I ask him what he wants for dinner he says “yams”!…if I want to cook something else, I have to come up with a damn good excuse why there won’t be yams on the table! BTW next time i come down we should do another cook-off! great photo too, I can smell them already!

Good point, I like to use extra virgin olive oil because it has more flavor.

Comment on Salsa Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce) by kharol

does anyone know of a similar sauce that uses lettuce? there’s a great Peruvian restaurant back in CA that had this type of sauce. they wouldn’t give me the recipe and there aren’t any Peruvian restaurants out here in Louisiana

Roberta’s reply:That might be a different sauce called Aji sauce which is also delicious, but a much heavier sauce because it is often made with mayonnaise. Aji has lettuce in it too. I this green sauce version a lot because it is so flavorful but very light, although the Aji is nice treat too.

I read another recipe that called for mayonnaise? Anyone ever try it with mayo??

Roberta’s Reply: If the recipe calls for mayonnaise, it isn’t the same sauce. I think that is a sauce called Aji. The draw back to mayo is it is very high in calories and in my opinion tends to dull the fresh lime and cilantro flavors.
