Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde
Ingredients
- 6–8 serrano chiles
- 1 bunch basil
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1¼ cups extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 2½ tsp. kosher salt
- One 8" metal or bamboo skewer
Steps
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Thread chiles onto skewer and grill, turning often, until charred and softened, about 6 minutes. Let cool; remove stems.
- Meanwhile, pluck leaves from basil and leaves and tender stems from cilantro and parsley. (You should have about 2 cups of each herb.)
- Pulse chiles, basil, cilantro, and parsley in a food processor until finely chopped. Add oil, vinegar, and salt and pulse until a thick, slightly textured sauce forms.
- Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
