Recipe Notes For Making The Best Creamy Jalapeño Sauce:
- Remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeños unless you like your sauce extra spicy. I recommend removing the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño peppers. That way you get their wonderful flavour and a little bit of heat, but not overwhelmingly so.
- If you’d like to add little spice to your jalapeño sauce, you can add some or all of the jalapeño seeds along with the jalapeño.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- You can use a food processor instead of using a blender. It may not be as smooth as a blender, but it will work out well.
- The jalapeños, onions and garlic can be sautéed in a frying pan instead of being boiled, if preferred.
- I find that 1 teaspoon of salt is perfect BUT if you are sensitive to salt, then I recommend starting with less and adding to taste.
- Adding sour cream is optional. The sauce can easily be made dairy free, vegetarian and vegan by skipping the sour cream. It will still be deliciously creamy without the sour cream. So feel free to skip it if you’d prefer to.
