Herbed Green Chili Sauce

1 Cup

If you are anything like us, you love to enjoy Maine-made stuff but also love to make things yourself. If that’s your jam, here is one of our house-favorite recipes for an herbaceous summertime sauce that will add just the right amount of heat to anything, especially a seafood taco.

3 jalapeño peppers, cored

1 poblano pepper, cored

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon vinegar (we use apple cider)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

¾ cup cilantro

1 tablespoon ginger, peeled

½ teaspoon salt

Grill or broil peppers to get them nice and charred; don’t forget to turn them from time to time. Once cooled, peel the peppers and add them with all of the other ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth and transfer to a small, clean jar. Keep in the fridge up to two weeks.
