Peruvian Chupe Base

A concentrated cooking base for chupe: **red onion**, **garlic**, **yellow chili**, and **ají panca** cooked in **vegetable oil** until the flavors settle and bloom. Boosted with **tomato paste** and spices, then finished with **huacatay** for a fresh herbal hit. This is the backbone that gives chupe its depth, color, and character.
