Equipment


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 jalapeño peppers (seeds and stems removed for a mild sauce, keep some seeds and ribs if you like it spicy)
  • 1 cup packed fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 12 tablespoons water (optional)


Instructions

  1. Cut the stems off the jalapeños, then slice in half length-wise. For a mild sauce, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño. For a spicier sauce, keep some of the ribs and seeds.
  2. Add all ingredients to a blender, except for salt, pepper, and water. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. For a thicker sauce, do not add water. For a thinner sauce, add 1-3 tbsp of water, depending on your preference.
