Aji Verde

A spicy Peruvian green sauce. It's creamy, zesty, and fiery adding a bold kick to any dish. Fresh coriander, tangy lime juice, and garlic blend seamlessly with vegan mayo or yoghurt, while parmesan (or a dairy-free alternative) enhances the umami depth. You can substitute the mayo for Greek yoghurt for a lighter finish.

Notes

Pro Tip✨: For a smokier depth, lightly char the jalapeños over an open flame or under the grill before blending- this enhances their natural sweetness and adds complexity to the sauce.
