Spicy mint crème fraiche sauce

This spicy mint crème fraiche sauce blends crème fraîche with mint, cilantro, parsley, garlic, Serrano peppers, and lemon juice. The result is a creamy, herbaceous sauce with a fresh, bright flavor and a controlled spicy kick. It's smooth yet slightly liquid, thickening after refrigeration, suitable for dolloping on grilled dishes or as a dip.

  1. Place all of the ingredients in the blender and blend well, but be careful to not over blend or you will get small buttery lumps instead of a smooth sauce.
  2. The sauce will be very liquid after you blend it, but if you return it to the refrigerator it will thicken.
