For the Magical Green Sauce
- ½ pounds fresh jalapeños, stems removed (you can remove seeds if you want less heat)
- ½ yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¾ cup grapeseed oil (or canola oil)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1-2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
For the Magical Green Sauce
Place the peppers, onion and garlic in a medium saucepan and just enough water to cover. Place over medium high heat and bring to a simmer, reduce heat to maintain a simmer for about 15 minutes or until peppers pierce easily with a knife, soft not mushy. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking liquid and allow to cool 15 min.
Put everything into a blender along with the salt, vinegar and begin to blend until smooth, adding in a little reserved cooking water if needed.
With the blender on medium low slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream. Continue to blend until the mixture is light and creamy.
Remove from the blender, allow to cool and place in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Yields about two cups.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week.
