Equipment

  • Food Processor or Bamix

Ingredients
  

  • 1 handful cilantro 8-10 sprigs
  • 1 handful mint 8-10 sprigs
  • 1 tbsp red onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • ⅓ jalapeno finely chopped
  • ½ lime juice
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Chop off any gross ends to on the mint and cilantro, remove skin from garlic and cut up jalapeno if you'd like (seeds are the spicy part, so add or don't - your preference!)
  • Toss everything into a food processor.
  • Blend to as fine as you'd like! For marinade, consider blending slightly longer. For steak/meat topping, leave it a little chunkier.
  • Move to bowl and serve!
