Somali Cilantro and Green Chile Pepper Sauce image

Hawa's company, Basbaas, is named for the Somali term for chile pepper, and her ready-made sauces are just like this one-an everyday condiment that makes everything it touches better. In fact, this cilantro and green chile pepper sauce that delivers spice and acid in big doses is a version of Basbaas's green sauce. Serve it on...anything. From scrambled eggs to grilled fish, tacos to roast chicken, a bowl of rice to a grilled steak, it's one of the most versatile recipes in the book.
