Basil and Coriander Sauce with Sherry Vinegar

1 serving

5 minutes

This exquisite sauce made from basil and cilantro with sherry vinegar is a true embodiment of freshness and aroma. Its roots can be traced back to Mediterranean cuisine, where herbs, citrus, and oil create a harmony of flavors. Sherry vinegar adds a slight tang and complexity to the sauce, while honey and lemon juice soften its notes. Spicy garlic and ginger add depth, while chili pepper gives a barely noticeable spiciness. This sauce pairs perfectly with seafood, roasted meats or vegetables and can also serve as a zesty dressing for salads. It will fill any dish with freshness and a light exotic touch.
