This condiment is commonplace in Peruvian restaurants. Serve with Chupe de Camarones or as an accompaniment to grilled meat or chicken.

Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 serrano
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method

In a food processor, pulse the garlic, serrano, and lime juice until combined. Add the cilantro, parsley, and oregano, and pulse again to form a green paste. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, stir in the oil, and season with the salt and pepper. Use as an all-purpose condiment.
