Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large fresh green chilies (such as jalapeños, serranos, or a mix)
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.5 medium onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the green chilies. If you prefer a milder sauce, halve the chilies and remove the seeds and membranes before chopping. For more heat, keep the seeds.
2. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and set aside.
3. Peel and coarsely chop the onion half and garlic cloves.
4. In a food processor, combine the chopped chilies, cilantro, lime juice, onion, and garlic.
5. Pulse the mixture a few times until the ingredients start to blend together.
6. With the food processor running on low, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil, allowing the mixture to emulsify into a smooth sauce.
7. Stop the processor to scrape down the sides with a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
8. Season the sauce with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, blending again for a uniform flavor.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice for balance.
10. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before each use.
