#7 - Ají Verde at Inka Mama's

Again, it's been a while between posts and I have a few to get to in the queue. First up, #7 on the list. An amazingly addictive sauce with a full range of great entrees to back it up. The Ají Verde at Inka Mama's comes out before your meal with some fresh, soft, warm french bread. The bread is the perfect way to soak up the Ají Verde - a wonderfully complex sauce with heat, creaminess, and just the perfect blend of spices.

Once you quickly devour the first serving of bread, they offer to bring more, but by the time more bread arrives, you'll probably just be eating the sauce on whatever you can find to put it on - even butter covered sauce. After the bread disappears again (they'll offer to bring more, but at some point you have to decline - right?), you get to the entree. In my case, a delectable shrimp dish which just went perfectly covered in even more Ají Verde.

I really need to get back to try more of their lunch specials. My co-worker wasn't too impressed with the entree I brought back for him, but he loved the Ají Verde, as anyone with properly working taste buds will.
