This sauce is amazing. There’s just no other way to describe it. It is tangy, spicy, nutty and so moreish!  It is perfect over salads, chicken, tacos, etc. The seeds are what make this a very creamy sauce and the beautiful smokiness from the chipotles goes so well with sesame seed and lemon juice. We know you'll love it as much as we do.

Creamy Chipotle Sauce

-2 tbsp sesame seeds

-2 tbsp sunflower seeds

-2 chipotles in adobo peppers (or more to taste)

-1 garlic clove

-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

-3 tbsp lemon juice

-5 sprigs of coriander

-5 tbsp water 

-salt to taste

1 Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or blender until everything is incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt. Add more water if you like your sauce with a more liquid consistency. 


Notes

  • You can use cashew nuts instead of pumpkin seeds. They all work great!
  • Using two chipotle peppers you get a spicy sauce that is not too hot. If you are not sure, you can start by adding just one and work your way up if needed.
  • This sauce should be creamy just like mayonnaise but you could change the consistency to your liking. 
  • You can add more garlic if you love garlic as much as we do.
  • You can use neutral oil instead of olive oil. We love the peppery flavour it adds to it. 

How to enjoy this sauce? We have added it to everything! Roasted veggies with Adobo Seasoning, olive oil and a dash of honey mixed with quinoa. We have added it to our Spicy Chicken Burger and our Potato Latkes. It is that good and versatile! Totally vegan goodness.
