Reviews
I made this recipe from scratch for my 4th of July picnic. Took a little longer than I had thought it would but it was a hugh success. All of my guests asked for the recipe. Thank you!
I saw Ingrid at the Womens Expo in Knoxville two weekends ago. She had this dip with her and let the audience try it. It was DELICIOUS. I couldn’t tell there were hardboiled eggs in there, but after reading this recipe I think that it gave it a very good flavor. And so what if she uses store-bought ingredients? If it’s good, don’t fix it. It’s a great way to make a quick dish even faster. Don’t knock this until you try it!
Very easy to do and great way to mix with plantain chips
Hardboiled eggs? I’m all for interesting cuisine but the eggs in this ruin the whole recipe for me! Yuck!
Are you kidding me here? What is this? This has got to be a joke, the recipes on the back of a soup can are more creative than hers.
Agree. Too much water and vinegar. Store bought pico de gallo? too hard for Ingrid to make? tablescapes?
Big chunks of hard boil egg? wow! can it get worst?

Not good.
Thank you for a terrible recipe.
Thank you for a terrible recipe.
This had a nice flavor and texture. I bought some homemade green plantains (tostones) from a local restauant. Much better than bagged ones. To the previous viewer, the plantains are for dipping not to be added to the Aji.
The recipe is fine with the exception that no mention is made as to when to add the plantain chips to the mixture.
