Poblano Basil Green Goddess/Pesto Sauce
15 mins prepServes 4
Not sure if this would technically be a pesto or a green goddess sauce… all I know is it is delicious. Pour this over some rice and join Guy over in Flavor Town.
Roast 2 poblanos over fire and then cover in a bowl to steam. After 10 minutes remove all the charred skin and remove the seeds. In a blender add the poblanos, 1.5 cups basil, 1 cup scallions, 1/4 cup cashews, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 6 cloves of garlic, about half a cup of ice water, half a cup olive oil, and salt to taste. Blend until smooth. For best flavor, let the sauce sit in the fridge overnight to allow flavors to meld and heat to mellow.
