Aji Verde

Great on chicken, potatoes, steak, sandwiches. I haven't found anything it's bad on yet, just things it's good on and things it's really good on.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise or 50/50 with Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves and stems
  • Small handful of mint leaves
  • 2 green onions, root end removed
  • 1 whole jalapeño pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup parmesan
  • Juice of 1 lime, about 2 tablespoons
  • Coarse salt to taste

Notes

  • If you can find them, replace the mint leaves with huacatay and the jalapeño with aji amarillo
  • I prefer thicker sauce, so sometimes I end up using up to twice the amount of cilantro and parmesan.
