4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 oz.) fresh parsley or fresh cilantro
• 1 (7 oz.) avocado
• 2⁄3 cup olive oil or avocado oil
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 green chili peppers (optional)
• 1⁄4 cup lime juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 oz. pistachio nuts

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, add all the ingredients — except the oil and the pistachio nuts — and mix until smooth.
2. Add oil and nuts at the end and mix roughly. It’s nice when the sauce is not too smooth and a bit chunky. Add more oil or water for a thinner texture. Salt and pepper to taste.

Tip!

Store the sauce for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

You can use it as a dip or dressing for a wide variety of dishes – grilled meat, vegetables, fish or poultry. If you need some more inspiration, check out our Baked eggplant with chorizo – a match made in heaven!
