Notes

  • Rinse off the herbs and then pat dry before adding to the blender or food processor.
  • Use fresh ingredients versus dried ingredients whenever possible.
  • If making in a blender, roughly chop the onion and herbs a little smaller to make blending them easier.
  • Adjust the herbs and seasonings to your taste.
  • Add more or less chili to suit your taste.
  • Use a sharp knife and remove the woody stems from the fresh herbs before adding them to the blender or food processor.
  • The bright green color will get darker over time. Don't worry, this is normal.
  • Make sure to rinse your herbs and other ingredients thoroughly to get rid of any dirt.
  • Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays. You can add the frozen cubes directly into soups, stews, rice dishes, curries, or any recipe you are cooking. But if using them as a marinade, you will need to thaw the cubes first.
  • Storage - keep refrigerated for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • There are 0 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
