Peruvian Inca Blend
During our travels to Peru while procuring Peruvian Pink Salt, we discovered that every family, household, and restaurant we shared meals with used a very particular salt & spice blend that was amazingly addictive!
From chicken to fish, pork to potatoes, this blend kept appearing on our meals and varied between households with specific ingredients and amounts. We quickly fell in love with this classic blend and set out to make our own version!
Back in the States, we played around for months with different ingredients, amounts, and quantities but there was something missing; the famous Aji Amarillo Chili Pepper! This pepper is native to Peru and is sweet, flavorful, with a touch of heat and so just so happens to be one of the key ingredients in a Peruvian cuisine.
Reaching out to our contacts and family in Peru, we were finally able to get a hold of these tasty peppers to complete our Peruvian Inca Blend...and it is addicting!:)
We put our own touch on this classic with a flavor profile that is crunchy, savory, and spicy with a lot going on that makes it incredibly versatile and unique!
Try it on: Anything chicken (fried, seared, baked, breaded, grilled), roasted fish, scallops, corn, fries, rice, burgers, popcorn, veggies, salads....everything!
Hand-mixed from: Peruvian Pink Salt, Aji Amarillo Chili Pepper, Garlic, Black Pepper, Annato, Cumin, Onion, Smoked Paprika, Spices, Lime.
Such a great interesting spice! I love to use it on vegetables!!
Whether smoked, baked or broiled the Perusivan Inca Blend is my go to for chicken rub! Love it.
I just made the absolute most delicious chicken wings using the Peruvian Inca Blend. It was a crowd pleasing dish for a group of picky eaters. We should have doubled the amount that were made! As a fan of Peruvian flavors, this spice blend is excellent. The ají amarillo flavor really comes through. I will definitely repurchase. I’m going to go though this bottle fast.
I discovered Peruvian Inca Blend several years ago when I first meet up with the Steel City Salt Company at a sidewalk sale in Pittsburgh. I use it on just about every kind of fish and chicken dish, and even vegetables and starches. It is consistently fabulous. A complex, warm, subtle flavor that makes me look like a great cook (I assure you I am not) when I use it. I highly recommend Peruvian Inca Blend.
It was the year before Covid I think, and I was wandering The Strip while visiting my sister and discovered this seasoning, bringing it back with me to Manila and used it for my eggs and fish; sparingly, because it was so good and it would be a year before I returned to U.S. I couldn’t wait to go back and resupply. Now that I can order online, I no longer have to stretch it out. Unlike plain old salt and pepper, or the local Filipino seasoning (Magic Sarap) which is used on everything, this blend offers a uniques flavor to my specific dishes. I don’t even use their seasoning anymore. :-)
