Spicy Green Sauce

This started out with hopes of being a cilantro pesto...but it didn't quite work out, lol. After I realized the pesto was a failure, I was a little frustrated but after pulling in a do-over, it transitioned into this spicy green sauce and it come out really tasty! This would be great along side a grilled steak or roasted chicken. I'm sure it would give breaded pork chops a kick, and would be great to dip poached shrimp in or topped on a piece of salmon! Adding it to mayonnaise would make it a great sandwich spread! Great to have alongside your barbecue spread this up coming weekend! :)

• 1 large bunch of cilantro, just leaves, squeezed dry
• 1 tablespoon raw walnuts
• 2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 a roll, crusts removed, cut into pieces
• 1 clove of garlic
• 20 capers, rinsed
• juice of 1/2 a lime
• a little lime zest
• 1/2 an avocado, roughly chopped
• 5 inch piece of scallion, bottom part, chopped
• 1/2 cubanelle pepper, roughly chopped
• 1/4 green pepper, roughly chopped
• 1/4 jalapeno pepper
• 1 tablespoon minced red onion
• 1 mint leaf
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• sea salt & fresh ground pepper

Combine the cilantro, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and olive oil in a bowl, I used a immersion hand blender and combine well. Then blend in your bread cubes. Followed by the rest of the ingredients a little at a time and season accordingly. Enjoy!
