Spicy Green Sauce (Peruvian Salsa Verde with Huacatay)

Step 1

I use a small blender for this sauce. Start by cleaning jalapenos, chopping cilantro and mincing garlic. When chopping cilantro I remove any large stems but I'm not too picky, I just chop as fine as I can on a cutting board.

Step 2

De-seed the jalapeno, wash well and chop in large pieces.

Step 3

Blend mayonnaise, lime juice, jalapenos and garlic first. Make sure it's a fine blend. It took me about a minute or two to get a very smooth consistency.

Step 4

Then add aji amarillo, huacatay, olive oil, salt and chopped cilantro. Continue blending until all the cilantro has been blended and there are no large pieces. If the sauce is too thick, add 2 tbsps of water, blend few more seconds and add to a serving bowl.

Step 5

You can chill before serving.
