Wine Tip
Cabernet Sauvignon, 2003
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wines in the world. It is a worthy partner for this charismatic dish thanks to its superb taste of black currants and its occasional hint of green bell pepper.
Step 1
Seed and dice jalapeno peppers. Mince garlic. Chop herbs roughly. Combine olive oil, vinegar, parsley, cilantro, bay leaf, jalapeno peppers, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor, process for one minute. Set aside.
