Green Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Remove husks and stems from tomatillos. Place whole tomatillos in a sauce pan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain the water and allow to cool.
• Place tomatillos, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
• Stir in sour cream and avocado and blend again until smooth.

Steps:

• Chop the herbs and garlic, mixing with 1 tsp sea salt, until very fine.
• Add the mustard and capers, and combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the olive oil.
• Add the vinegar, little by little, stirring and tasting as you go - trust your palate!

Steps:

• Place herbs, garlic and pepper in a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container if necessary.
• Add yogurt and purée until smooth. (This may take a minute or so; scrape down the sides of the container as needed.) With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Pulse in lemon zest and salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Spoon over grilled or roasted chicken, seafood (especially shrimp and salmon), sausages, steaks, lamb chops and vegetables. Use as a marinade for chicken, lamb or pork; as a dressing for starchy salads with beans, potatoes or grains, or for hearty vegetable salads, like those with cucumbers or blanched and sliced sugar snap peas or green beans. Serve as a dip for crudité or chips. Spread in roast beef, lamb or pork sandwiches.

Steps:

• Combine the parsley, spinach, yogurt, chives, olive oil, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor until smooth and bright green. Transfer to a bowl or container, cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the onions and jalapeno and saute until just starting to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
• Reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle the onion mixture with the flour and stir constantly until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved liquid from the chiles, 1 cup water, the vinegar and salt and stir until the liquid is smooth and all the flour is dissolved.
• Add the chiles and pepper and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Puree in a blender, or with a stick blender, and add the lime juice. Adjust to taste for salt and pepper. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Cook spaghetti as directed on package, omitting salt. Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add onions, peppers and garlic; cook and stir 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Add lettuce; cook and stir 2 min. or until wilted. Transfer to blender. Add remaining dressing, cream cheese and cilantro; blend until smooth.
• Drain spaghetti; place in large bowl. Add sauce; toss to coat. Spoon into 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with mozzarella. Cover.
• Bake 10 min. or until spaghetti mixture is heated through and mozzarella is melted.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic until onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomatillos, avocado, and water to onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes are softened and liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool slightly.
• Blend tomato mixture, sour cream, cilantro, and salt together in a food processor or blender, working in batches if necessary, until sauce is smooth.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chile peppers cut-side down on baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until skin is heavily blistered and turning black, about 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer chile peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes. Peel and chop the chile peppers.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour until mixture thickens. Stir in chopped chile peppers, beef broth, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Rinse the pepper corns and set aside.
• Pan fry your meat, remove, then deglaze pan with broth.
• Stir over low heat until boiling, then add the cream and peppercorns.
• Boil for 8-10 minutes. Add brandy and boil for 1 minute.
• Serve over meat.

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Meanwhile, boil the kettle, put the spinach and peas in a bowl, and cover with boiling water. Leave for about 3 mins until the peas are tender, then drain well. Tip the veg into a food processor or blender, add the basil, pesto, cream and Parmesan, and whizz to make a smooth sauce.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water, and return to the pan. Pour over the sauce and return to a low heat to cook for a few mins, until the sauce clings to the spaghetti. Add a little pasta water if it looks too dry, season to taste and serve with extra Parmesan and scattered with basil leaves, if you like.
