This is the native spice of Chile, and an essential ingredient in the cooking of the Mapuche people of southern Chile. This intriguing spice mixture features Cacho de Cabra chile ( ‘horn of the goat’ ) a long, pointed chili pepper called aji, or caciocavra in local dialect. This pepper is grown throughout the region and is gathered in February, when it turns from bright green to red. After the harvest, the caciocavra is sun-dried until it becomes violet-colored. The dried chilies are smoked for half an hour and are hung from the ceiling in wicker baskets directly over a wood-fire. After being dried in the sun, the aji is finely ground, and lightly smoked coriander seeds and sea salt are added to the aji powder. This delicious, piquant spice is used to flavor soups, meats, omelettes and salads and was always found on the table in Chilean homes. Merken is also wonderful lightly sprinkled over fresh fruit such as pineapple, mango and watermelon, or over the top of lightly whipped cream and chocolate cream pie.
