This bright green sauce is excellent served with barbecued foods such as chicken or full-flavored fish. If desired, you can include lambda carrageenan to stabilize the sauce.

Ingredients

<
plain yogurt 10 tbsp

Method

Drain the yogurt in a coffee filter for an hour or so to eliminate excess water. If using the carrageenan, soak it in the water until smooth and hydrated. Combine the drained yogurt, onion, ginger, jalapeños, mint, cilantro, and the carrageenan and its soaking liquid, if using, in a food processor. Process for 15 to 30 seconds, until the ingredients are finely chopped and the mixture is smooth.
