Light Dill & Jalapeño Crema

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
This sauce is all about lightness and freshness. Similar to the previous one, but made purely with sour cream (no mayo), giving it a tangier, brighter character. It's akin to 'Crema Mexicana', generously drizzled over tacos and enchiladas to cool the fire of spicy dishes.

Instructions

1 ✓

Seed and finely mince the jalapeños. Chop the dill.

Tip: For a pop of color, try using a mix of red and green jalapeños.
2 ✓

Finely grate the garlic.

Tip: Grated garlic is potent, so one clove is plenty for this amount.
3 ✓

Mix the sour cream with the vegetables, dill, and lemon juice.

Tip: Don't over-mix aggressively, or the sour cream might lose its structure and become runny.
4 ✓

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Tip: Salt needs time to dissolve and flavors need time to diffuse.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use yogurt instead?
