Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh green chilies
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
Start by washing the fresh green chilies under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut off the tops of the chilies and slice them in half lengthwise. For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and membranes; otherwise, leave them in for extra heat.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to a food processor along with the sliced chilies.
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, water, and ground cumin to the food processor.
Process all ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your taste preferences.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the chili sauce as a topping or dipping sauce with your favorite Paleo dishes.
