A Peruvian condiment, this ‘green sauce’ from Lima-born chef Carlo Carozzi doubles as a dip for chips, sweet potato wedges and crudités. Made with jalapeños, coriander and white wine vinegar, it has plenty zing to it so will be sure to pep up your chips and dip station at a party or go down a treat as a snack with a group of friends. It takes just five minutes to whip up, too.Time and servings
