Peruvian Salsa Verde
By pokitasal
This spicy, green cilantro based sauce is my version of a very popular Peruvian salsa. It's the perfect accompaniment for rice and meats and is delicious on fish tacos or even by itself as a dip.

Preparation
Step 1
Roast all peppers, jalepeno, onion and garlic using a large 2 prong fork. Rotate over a medium flame (if you are using a gas stove) until they are blackened. This can also be done in the oven or a dry frying pan.
Step 2
Add all ingredients to food processor, drizzle the olive oil over the top and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Blend until smooth.
The first step is key. Roasting the peppers, garlic and onion gives the sauce a deep smoky flavor . Removing the seeds from the jalepenos helps control the spice.
