4 servings
Servings4
1 cup heavy cream
4 jalapenos
1 onion
1 shallot
1 clove garlic
to taste salt
2 plants cilantro (optional)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Chop the vegetables and add them to the saucepan with a little butter or oil.

2

Sweat the vegetables covered about 10 minutes, until they are soft and starting to become translucent.

3

Add the cream and bring to a gentle boil.

4

The cream will foam and rise as it boils. Stir occasionally to ensure the cream doesn’t scorch or boil over.

5

Allow the cream to reduce until it starts to coat the spoon well.

6

Add optional greens at this point.

7

Puree thoroughly. Pass through a fine sieve if your presentation requires it.

8

Use hot, or allow to cool and then store in a tightly-lidded container for up to a week.
