The literal translation of this sauce is green pepper. The name is nowhere near as exciting as the flavour of this sauce. It is fantastic with the Peruvian favourite Pollo ala Brasa but is also great with dishes like crispy pork belly or simply as a dipping sauce for chips , cheese sticks.and crudites
Ingredients
  • 3 roughly chopped jalapenos
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro/ coriander leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream or crème fresh
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Parmesan-cheese - a third of a cup
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Combine all of the ingredients for the Chilli sauce( except the olive oil) in a blender and mix well. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until it emulsifies (combines and thickens). Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until ready for use
