Equipment

  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 lime zest of, Note 1
  • 2 cups cilantro (coriander) leaves and stems
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • ½ lime juice of, Note 2

Instructions

  • Zest lime: use a grater and chopping board to zest the lime, Note 4
  • Blitz: add cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper to the food processor and blitz for 4-5 seconds.
  • Combine: add Greek yogurt to garlic herb mix and blitz for 2-3 seconds to combine. Then add lime zest and blitz. Squeeze ½ lime into sauce and blitz for 2-3 seconds.
  • Additional information: store in the fridge in an air tight container for 7 days.

Notes

  • Note 1 - Lime zest: you can use a microplane zester to zest the lime. We zest the whole lime and add that to the sauce. But we only use ½ of the lime juice. Taste as you go, but the whole lime would be too tart in flavor. 
  • Note 2: Salt and pepper: we only need to smallest amount of salt and pepper. This seasons the recipe, but allows the other ingredients to shine.
