Basbaas is a Somali green hot sauce that we use as a condiment. You can use it with pretty much anything savory. You can make it as spicy as you like by adding more jalapenos or different hot chilies.

Ingredients

4 Medium to large jalapenos (diced)

1 Juice of lemon

3 Peeled garlics

Handful of cilantro

1 Tsp of salt to taste

2 Green onions/scallions (chopped)

1/4 Green bell pepper

Directions

In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. 

Pour it in a glass jar with a lid.

Keep the basbaas in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy!
