Instructions
Balancing the heat
Adjust the spiciness of your green chilli sauce by adding more lemon juice. This balances the heat and provides a refreshing tang that will make the sauce feel less intense. You can also add some sugar to soften the heat with a hint of sweetness, making it more enjoyable for those who prefer milder flavours. Or, simply reduce the amount of chilli used for the sauce.
Opt for fresh vegetables and herbs
Find the freshest herbs by looking for leaves that are bright green and free from any yellowing or wilting. Similarly, select chillies that are firm to the touch and have glossy, smooth skin. Fresh ingredients improve the flavour and help preserve the vibrant green colour of the sauce, making it look more appetising.
Handling the chillies
It is important to wear gloves when handling chillies, especially when deseeding them. This protects your skin from oils that can irritate or cause discomfort. Also, thoroughly wash your hands after handling chillies to remove any residue.

With a fresh and zesty zing from herbs and lime juice
The fresh and zesty herbs and lime juice play an important part in perfecting the green chilli sauce. Mint, coriander, and parsley offer a cool, refreshing, and herbaceous taste, keeping the spiciness in check set off by the chillies.
We have included a bit of ginger for a brighter type of heat, while lime juice makes an invigorating, zesty entrance. This fantastic combination can quickly become your new reliable hot sauce.
Smooth and creamy texture from milk, white cheese and almonds
White cheese and almonds team up to give you an irresistibly smooth and creamy sauce. The white cheese is naturally soft, providing a gentle creaminess, while the almonds add a pronounced nutty flavour. The addition of rich milk helps bind everything together into a smooth mix. The white cheese also injects a few tangy notes that balance the heat and complement the fresh herbs.
A fiery dip for grilled meats, veggie sticks, and crispy fries
Our warm and spicy green chilli sauce can be whipped up for summer barbecues, afternoon snacks, or as a hot dip for your favourite fries. Make the sauce while the steaks sizzle away on the grill, and enjoy the fiery punch it adds to rich meats.
This recipe also shines as a dip for crunchy red pepper and cucumber sticks. Even fries or potato wedges can be enveloped in the smooth, slightly creamy chilli sauce. And if you are looking for an easy-to-make spread for your sandwiches, you are in luck. Our green chilli sauce has got you covered!
Adjust the recipe
Use any type of green chilli for this sauce, depending on how spicy you like it. For a milder taste, Jalapeños will do the job nicely. Varieties such as Cayenne peppers, which have more seeds, offer a spicier kick. If you want to dial the heat up or down, remove the seeds from the chillies to adjust the spiciness exactly to your liking.
Consider roasting the almonds and chillies before blending the sauce together. Roasting the chillies softens their sharpness, allowing a richer, smokier flavour to develop. Similarly, roasting the almonds releases their aromatic oils and deepens their nutty flavour. Be careful not to over-roast. This can lead to a bitter taste, especially in the almonds. Once roasted, let them cool before adding them to the blender.
Cashews and pine nuts are excellent alternatives to almonds. They have a naturally sweet and buttery flavour, which contributes to a mild sweetness. When blended, they create a creamy, velvety texture that makes the sauce richer and smoother, perfect if you prefer something less nutty. The pine nuts especially impart a delicate, almost luxurious feel, making it lighter and more refined without overpowering the herbs.
