Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 336 grams lemons, whole (4 Meyer lemons)
  • 134 grams limes, whole (2 limes)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice (Meyer lemon juice)
  • 2 fresh (6 grams) Thai chiles (seeded, or 2 fresh jalapeno chiles, seeded)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Zest the Meyer lemons and the limes to create 1/2 cup of zest. Juice 1-2 Meyer lemons until you get 1/3 cup of juice. Save the remaining Meyer lemons and limes for another use.

  • Step 2: Combine the zest, juice, chiles and salt in a food processor on the lowest setting. Process until you have a rough yellowish-green paste with a texture similar to pesto. You can also use a mortar and pestle.

  • Step 3: Store in a container with a tight-sealing lid for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator for the flavors to develop.
