The flesh is firm, not mushy. This variety of peppers, frozen, is available in many Hispanic grocery stores around the US. I used the frozen version of this chile pepper to taste-test recipes provided by Peruvian chefs for my travel guidebook, "Eat Smart in Peru: How to Decipher the Menu, Know the Market Foods & Embark on a Tasting Adventure." One such recipe was for Papas a la Huancaina, which was mentioned in the comment by Max on June 8th. Remarkably, frozen ajies amarillos when thawed are almost freshlike. The flesh is firm, not mushy.

To make Papa a la Huancaina here in Houston, I combine 3 or 4 RED jalapenos with 2 Habanero (seeded), and add some yellow aji paste.
