Real Simple Spicy Herb Sauce for Meats, Dips and More

September 30, 2020 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 4 Comments

Gardening season is almost over but my herbs are still going strong so I have been looking for recipes to preserve them for the winter. A few weeks ago I posted about drying herbs and making basil walnut pesto, today I thought I would share a spicy herb sauce that I found in Real Simple magazine magazine. This recipe is perfect served over grilled meat, served over eggs, as a dipping sauce and more. 

Spicy Herb Sauce

Spiced Herb Sauce

Recipe from Real Simple (Makes 13/4 cups 2 Tbsp serving)

5 cups tender fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, and/or parsley, stems removed

2 Tablespoons woody fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme and or sage

1/2 cup chopped jalapeño peppers, seeded if desired

2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled

1 cup of grapeseed oil or avocado oil

1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice

11/2 teaspoon salt

Combine tender and woody herbs, jalapeños and garlic in a food processor. Pulse, scraping down the side occasionally, until finely chopped. With the motor running slowly add oil. Add lemon(or lime) juice and salt and pulse to combine. 

Fresh Herbs

I hope you try this spicy and delicious sauce it is the perfect way to use your herbs and a new addition to your dinner. 

If you missed you can also try my Basil Walnut Pesto.

    How boring our kitchen forays would be without wonderful, flavorful herbs and spices to add to our cooking!
