Roasted Jalapeño Green Sauce

Roasted Jalapeño Green Sauce

Roasting tames the jalapeños and adds a little smokiness before this green sauce is puréed silky smooth. It has a tangy tomatillo bite and enough warmth to wake up a taco without drowning it.

Butter Club Notes

This is one of those sauces that always seems to disappear faster than I expect. It has just enough heat to keep things interesting without taking over the whole meal. Roasting the jalapeños first makes a huge difference because it softens their bite and adds a little smoky depth that fresh peppers just can't match. I usually keep a squeeze bottle of this in the refrigerator because it's the kind of sauce you end up putting on everything.
