Time: 10 minutes
• 1. Finely chop the garlic, shallots, chili, ginger, parsley
and chives in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients, and
process just to mix. Add 1/4 cup boiling water, and process to
mix. Run the machine in short bursts until you have a coarse
puree. If desired, add more salt or lime juice, to taste. The
sauce can be served immediately, but it becomes more
flavorful if you let it sit for an hour.
• Yield: about 2 cups.
