Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g Parsley one bunch
  • 150 g Fresh Coriander one bunch
  • 50 g Mint one bunch
  • 50 g Fresh Green Jalapeño Chilli four in number
  • 20 g Garlic
  • 1 Lemon
  • 3 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
  • 100 ml Apple cider vinegar
  • 250 ml Cold pressed Sesame oil/ Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Wash all herbs thoroughly and pat them dry. Set aside to air dry. There should be no water left.
  • Wash jam jars in hot water and sterilise in the oven for 30 minutes at 100ºC
  • Pick the leaves from the mint and discard the stems.
  • Pick through the herbs, discarding the manky ones; wilted and yellow ones are fine. Roughly chop the coriander and parsley, including stems.
  • Peel the garlic.
  • Roughly chop the jalapeno cillies.
  • Cut the lemons in half and extract the juice. The pith is okay; discard the seeds.
  • In a food processor, add the garlic, herbs, and jalapeño, and start to blend. While blending, add the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. When you have a rough paste, add salt and spices.
  • Continue blending while slowly adding the oil, a little at a time. Blend till it starts to come together and is smooth.
  • Remove the jam jars from the oven and allow them to cool for five minutes.
  • Transfer the green sauce into the jam jars, top with a bit of oil, tightly seal the lid and refrigerate.
  • Use as an extra layer of flavour on soups, salads, on toast or whatever else you fancy.
