Description

A bright and spicy herb-forward condiment perfect for grilled meats and veggies, easily made at home in under 10 minutes.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (tender stems included)
  • 23 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice, fresh squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Add the aromatics. Place the cilantro, chopped jalapeños, and minced garlic into a food processor.
  2. Pulse several times until everything is finely chopped and evenly mixed. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  3. Emulsify the sauce. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil followed by the lime juice. Process until it looks well blended and spoonable.
  4. Season with smoked paprika, then season with salt and pepper. Pulse once or twice to combine.
  5. Serve over chicken, steak, roasted cauliflower, or anything that needs a bright, spicy kick.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. For freezing, use ice cube trays and consume within 2-3 months.
