Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces fresh green chilies
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 piece lime
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Wash and dry the green chilies and cilantro thoroughly.
Remove the stems from the green chilies and roughly chop them. If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds from some or all of the chilies.
Peel the garlic cloves.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped green chilies, garlic cloves, and cilantro (including stems for extra flavor).
Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender.
Add white vinegar, olive oil, salt, sugar, and water to the blender.
Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and well combined. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add a bit more water a tablespoon at a time, blending to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Once blended to your desired consistency, transfer the green chili sauce to a clean jar or bottle.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before each use.
