Spicy Herb Lime Sauce

A Multi-Purpose Flavor Bomb of a Sauce

Hey, everyone!

This week’s recipe is for a great sauce I’ve been making a bunch lately.

I love sauces, especially ones like this that are easy to make and make use of super common ingredients. Often I’ll make one or two sauces at the beginning of the week and use those to spruce up the various meals I make throughout the week. This sauce is a great prep-ahead condiment because it’s so versatile. I’ve paired this with steak, carne asada tacos, whole roasted chicken, roasted carrots, roasted sweet potatoes, lamb chops, and a bunch more.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Ingredients

• 1 bunch parsley

• 1 bunch cilantro

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 2 serrano or jalapeño peppers

• zest + juice of 1 lime

• salt

• olive oil

Process

Trim just the tough bottoms off the herbs.

Add the herbs, garlic, peppers, lime, and a big pinch of salt to a blender.

Add in about 1/4 cup of olive oil, and blend. Add more oil as needed as you blend to get a nice consistency like the one in the photo.

Taste and adjust with more salt or lime juice until you’re happy with the taste.

Enjoy!

Variations

• You can add an avocado to the mix for a creamier, thicker sauce. I did this recently and paired it with some Korean braised beef tacos— it was fantastic.

• You can add in a few tomatillos (roasted or raw) for a riff on a Mexican-style salsa verde.

• Make this olive oil mayo and then add mix in a few tbsp of this salsa for an herbaceous aioli.
