GRILLED SERRANO SALSA VERDE
Grilling the chiles tames their heat a bit and adds a nice smoky flavor to this green sauce. You can also fine-tune the heat by using fewer or more chiles, depending on the intensity of the ones you have and your personal taste. This sauce goes well with any grilled meat or fish.

- 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.
- Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
SALSA VERDE FOR CILANTRO LOVERS
Classic and easy salsa verde that can be thrown together quite quickly. Great for cooking as well as dipping. Don't mistake the ease of the recipe for lack of flavor, as real spice lovers will appreciate the simplicity in taste! I am VERY generous with cilantro and also like to keep many of the seeds. Hope you enjoy! Yield is approximate.
