Recipe - Huacatay Chili (Aji De Huacatay)

125 g Mirasol chili
1 md Sprig of huacatay
Some leaves of saltwort;
(paico)
Salt to taste
Oil

Here are the recipes I have. They are from Comidas criollas peruanas
(Peruvian Creole Food Cookbook). These are the translations in the cookbook
(it is in Spanish and English):

Roast the mirasol chili whole, cut in half and remove the pips and fibers;
wash and grind with the wellwashed huacatay leaves and saltwort until a
smooth paste results. Season with salt and a little oil and beat well. The
sauce is then ready to servewith potatoes, maize ears or boiled meat. It
may also be used with hot fried "cuyes" (a small animal like a guineapig).
