Recipe Notes
This is a classic creamy green sauce that is served in Peru with almost any dish. It goes great with chicken or beef, especially these spicy marinated versions. It is also great on sandwiches and will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. You can thin it out with a bit of milk or sour cream to make a great (but potent) salad dressing. A little bit of this sauce goes a looong way.
