- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and cut into large chunks
- 2 cups (50 g.) fresh parsley
- 2 cups (45 g.) fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp ground cumin

INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the green onion, garlic and jalapeño in your food processor and pulse for a few seconds until finely chopped.
- Add the parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, sea salt and a few twists of black pepper. Zest the lemon, then press it and measure out two tablespoons of juice.
- Add the lemon zest and two tablespoons of juice to the food processor, along with the Cashew Lemony Umami Butter.
- Start the food processor, and with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil through the tube. Blend until fully smooth. Stop the machine and taste for seasoning; add more spices, salt or lemon as needed. If you’d like the sauce to be thinner, add a bit more olive oil and blend again.
- Transfer to a jar or air-tight container and store in the fridge for up to a week. The sauce will thicken slightly in the refrigerator; simply add a bit of water and mix well to thin it out to its original consistency.
