Cooking for

0.25 cuploosely packed fresh parsley leaves
0.25 cuploosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
0.25 cupraw walnuts or pepitas
4 clovegarlic
1 tspground cumin
10twists of freshly ground black pepper
1 tspsherry vinegar
225 gfresh jalapeño peppers (about 6 medium-to-large), sliced into 1″ chunks
0.33 cupextra-virgin olive oil
—1 ¼ teaspoons fine sea salt (scale back to 1 teaspoon if using regular table salt)

Steps

1
In a food processor, combine everything but the jalapeños and olive oil. Blend until the ingredients are finely chopped, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Add the jalapeños and pulse until the peppers are finely chopped, but not completely obliterated.
2
Stir the olive oil into the sauce by hand, and transfer to a bowl for serving. If the sauce is outrageously spicy at first, give it a 30-minute rest or longer—it usually mellows out a bit. This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 to 2 weeks.
