Aji Criollo

Aji Criollo (Ecuador Hot Sauce)
4 hot green peppers (jalapenos or chilies)
6 Tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons minced cilantro or parsley

Remove the seeds from the peppers unless you want the sauce to be extremely hot. Then mince them.
Purée everything in a food processor until smooth.
This simple sauce has a bright green color and hot spicy flavor. It originates in Ecuador and is served with a variety of dishes such as tamales, empanadas, and chimichurri.
