Xato Sauce

Yield: 1 servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

3 Garlic cloves
8 Almonds -- peeled and
Toasted
1 Or more sharp chili peppers
(or powdered cayenne pepper)
1/2 c Olive oil
1/4 c Wine vinegar
3/4 ts Salt

This sauce can be made in 5 minutes in an electric blender: simply
put all the ingredients in at once and beat until the almonds are
reduced to fine particles. If you do not have a blender, crush the
garlic and almonds in a mortar, add one or more finely chopped chili
pepper, and mash to a smooth paste before graually blending in the
oil and vinegar. The number of peppers (or the amount of cayenne)
you use depends on how sharp you like the sauce. When tasting the
seasoning, bear in mind that the sauce will seem less sharp when
mixed with the salad.
