How to Prepare an Exquisite Choncholi

Step 1 : The Choncholi must be thoroughly cleaned and boiled in water with salt until half cooked.

Step 2 : Then, remove it and drain before cutting into approximately 3 cm pieces and placing them in a deep container.

Step 3 : Season the pieces with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, and Aji panca, also adding the vinegar and ensuring they are well covered.

Step 4 : Mix everything and let it marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for about 20 hours.

Step 5 : Next, heat the grill and place the Choncholi pieces, previously skewered on skewers or directly on the grill.

Step 6 : Brush the pieces with the marinade they have been soaking in.

Step 7 : Once cooked, turn them over and brush again with the marinade.

Step 8 : Remove from the grill when they are golden.

Step 9 : Serve the Choncholi accompanied by boiled or roasted potatoes, corn, yuca, and ground yellow aji.

Step 10 : To prepare the aji sauce, it is necessary to soak the cleaned mirasol chilies in water from the previous day.

Step 11 : The following day, boil them changing the water twice.

Step 12 : Drain, peel, and blend with part of the marinade from the hearts and the achiote oil.
