For a milder Ají, remove the membranes from the jalapeños along with the seeds. Adjust the amount of jalapeños to suit your preferred level of spiciness. Feel free to experiment with different types of peppers, such as serranos or habaneros, for a unique flavor profile. Ají is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Try adding a clove of garlic for extra depth of flavor.
