Equipment
- Food processor
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Glass Jar
- Chef Knife
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cilantro
- 1/2 Cup Mint
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 Tsp Honey
- 1/2 Jalapeno
- 1/4 Cup Canola Oil
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prep the Herbs: Wash the cilantro and mint in cold water first. Remove the thick stems from the mint leaves carefully. Keep some cilantro stems for extra flavor and nutrients. Pat the leaves very dry with a paper towel.
- Chop the Veggies: Peel the garlic cloves and chop them into halves. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno for less heat. Rough chop the pepper into small pieces for even blending.
- Blend the Base: Put herbs and garlic into your food processor now. Add the jalapeno and the lime juice as well. Pulse the machine a few times to chop them down.
- Stream the Oil: Turn the food processor on a low speed setting. Slowly pour the oil through the top feed tube. Watch as the sauce becomes thick and very creamy.
- Season the Sauce: Add the salt and the honey into the mix. Give it one last pulse to combine everything well. Taste the sauce to see if it needs more salt.
- Serve it Fresh: Pour the sauce into a small serving bowl now. Let it sit for ten minutes to blend flavors. Serve it alongside your favorite grilled meats or veggies.
