In Merrill's latest New Staples column for the New York Times, she talks aji amarillo, buckwheat and aloe vera -- yes, the very same aloe that soothes sunburns!

I first discovered aji amarillo a couple of years ago at a local green grocer. What I found were the dried version. And these are HOT. If I remember correctly they pack about 40,000 Scoville units. Expect a complex flavor that combines well with other ingredients, but if your tolerance for heat in your food is low then you don't want to even be in the same room with them.
