Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, add garlic and ginger and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add cilantro, mint, jalapeño, lime juice, water, and sugar and pureé until smooth.
- Season to taste with salt (I like 1/2 teaspoon). Adjust consistency with additional water if desired.
Notes
- Ginger: To peel the ginger easily, rub the brown skin with the tip of a spoon. Or, substitute 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger paste (such as from Gourmet Garden).
- Jalapeños: The seeds and membrane hold the spiciest part of a jalapeño (although overall spiciness varies from pepper to pepper). For a less spicy sauce, omit the seeds and white inner membrane.
- Yield: This recipe makes 3/4 cup sauce (12 tablespoons total).
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: The sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
