Follow these simple steps to create your Cilantro Garlic Sauce with Jalapeños & Limes:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and roughly chopping the cilantro. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. If you desire a spicier sauce, chop the jalapeños.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeños.
3. Add Liquids: Squeeze the juice of one lime into the bowl, and then pour in the olive oil.
4. Season: Add the salt and black pepper to the mixture for extra flavor.
5. Blend: Use an immersion blender, food processor, or regular blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, pulse it gently until it reaches your desired consistency.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust any seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice or salt according to your preference.
