Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.

Notes

  • Yields about two cups.
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week.
