Ecuadoran Tamarillo Salsa

This vibrant Ecuadorian tamarillo salsa, often known as ají de tomate de árbol, is a staple condiment across the Andes. The tamarillo, or tree tomato, provides a unique, sophisticated tartness that far surpasses a standard tomato, creating a beautifully balanced sauce with a gentle, creeping heat. Its bright, zesty profile makes it a refreshing addition to any table, offering an authentic and aromatic taste of South American home cooking.

As a versatile vegan accompaniment, this salsa pairs naturally with roasted root vegetables, crispy potatoes or simple grains. The combination of fresh red serrano chilli and zesty lime juice cuts through rich flavours, making it a healthy and punchy way to elevate your homemade plant-based meals. Serve it at room temperature to allow the complex, fruity notes of the fruit to shine through.
