Simple Jalapeno Cream Sauce Recipe

[Saviolo]

Just a simple and delicious one this week. This is adapted from a restaurant that hubby ate at, and they had this really excellent simple creamy jalapeno dish (Nicaraguan pollo jalapeno). He made a couple of alterations and adapted it into this super easy recipe. You do have to keep an eye on it, you definitely don't want to scorch your cream, but so long as you keep stirring it regularly, it won't stick and burn. We added this sauce to our squash soup, as well as over some roasted chicken, and it worked very well. Would make a decent stand-in for chimichurri, as well.

Please note: adding things like cilantro and parsley to a dish like this does slightly lower their shelf life. Because these leafy greens have some chemical compounds like thymol, which will reduce the amount of flavour over time, you can only keep this in the fridge for about a week. It will still be safe to eat after that time, but you may notice that it loses much of its interesting flavour, and becomes "just hot."
