Ingredients
  

  • 1 Jalapeño Pepper, stem removed & sliced. *Remove seeds if you don’t want the heat. *We like heat, so we leave them in.
  • 1 Serrano Peper, stem removed & sliced. *Remove seeds if you don’t want the heat.
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Pressed through a garlic press or shaved on a micro plane
  • 1 Lemon Zested and Juiced
  • 1 Pinch of Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom Can also use seeds from Cardamom pods and grind in a spice blender
  • 1 Cup Cilantro, roughly chopped or 2 large handfuls
  • 1/2 Cup Parsley or 1 large handfuls
  • 1/3 Cup Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Using a food processor or blender, place in the chopped Jalapeño, Garlic, Lemon Zest , Lemon Juice, Salt, and half of the Olive Oil. Blend for a few seconds to mix the ingredients.
  • Add all the Spices, chopped Cilantro, Parsley, and the rest of the Olive Oil. Blend to combine into a thick sauce consistency. *You may need to add slightly more oil if the consistency remains too thick after a few minutes of blending. Test it along the way.

Notes

1. This will keep in the Fridge for 1-2 weeks. 
2. It’s great on fish, chicken, vegetables, pita, bread, and crackers-really, anything you can think of! We love it!
