Macchu Picchu

Mashed green plantains and fish? It sounds like an unlikely pairing, but happens to be delicious.

If you can't find aji amarillo, you can substitute jalapeno. The aji paste can be replaced with chilli paste.

I found this recipe on google, and used google translate to get something....somewhat comprehensible. However, it came out great! I baked tilapia, though I suspect the original recipe would have used blanched shellfish...

Either way, it's delicious!
