Austin Green Sauce

If you've been in Austin, you know what this is - the ubiquitous "green sauce" (also called Doña sauce, and whatnot) that you get at pretty much every taco establishment. Turns out this is remarkably easy to make!

Seriously.

Get a good blender (ideally, an Indian "mixie", but hey, your Vitamin, or at a pinch, an immersion blender). Blend together

• 6 green jalapeños (no stems)
• 1/4th clove garlic
• Juice of 2 limes
• 4 tbsp olive oil

And that's it.

The result will be an almost electric green, and insanely delicious. Enjoy on, well, everything!

Modifications

1. Boil the jalapeños for around 5 minutes before blending. Mellows out the flavor a bit

2. Remove the seeds and the white pith from the jalapeños to reduce the heat (🤷‍♂️ maybe you like it like this 🤷‍♂️)

3. Add a peeled zucchini to add a little bit of a vegetal flavor, and a touch of complexity

4. Moar garlic

5. Less garlic.

6. Vegetable oil instead of olive oil to make the flavor a touch "cleaner"

7. You get the point. Soooo many things you can do here!
