3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 medium shallots, peeled and quartered
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chili, seeded and quartered
2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup flatleaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or scallion greens
1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme

Pinch of ground allspice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice, or more, to taste

Steps:

  • Finely chop the garlic, shallots, chili, ginger, parsley and chives in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients, and process just to mix. Add 1/4 cup boiling water, and process to mix.

The sauce can be served immediately, but it becomes more flavorful if you let it sit for an hour.
