Chef's Notes
Treat this green cooking base like the sacred foundation of flavor that it is. Every single ingredient plays a vital role, from the aromatic punch of the garlic to the unique herbal notes of the recao. Never substitute dried herbs for the fresh recao and cilantro unless you wish to face my royal wrath.
Pro Tip
Wear kitchen gloves when handling 32 ajies dulce and hot peppers, unless you enjoy accidentally rubbing capsaicin into your eyes later. Also, make sure to pulse rather than run the food processor continuously; you want a vibrant textured paste, not a watery green juice.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You ignore the pulse setting, hold down the power button on the food processor, and accidentally liquefy your entire batch into a foamy green smoothie that makes your kitchen smell like an angry lawnmower.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The royal jester declares that chopping twenty cloves of garlic by hand is a fantastic way to ensure nobody stands closer than ten feet to you at the royal court.
The Culinary Science
Pulsing aromatic vegetables like onions, garlic, and herbs ruptures their cell walls just enough to release sulfur compounds and essential oils, creating a massive explosion of flavor without completely destroying their cellular structure.
