Sweet Cherubim's is a vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver, B.C. Their samosas are rotund little things that will set you back about 3 dollars each now, yet the green sauce is the real star. Since I tasted it 9 years ago I've been trying to figure out, but only since I left Vancouver did they start selling it in a container that has an ingredients list. Whew. Surprisingly, tofu is the bulk of it, but all the other flavours take over.
Wash and prep all the vegetables. Be sure to deseed and devein the jalapeƱos if hot isn't your think. Blend everything in a food processor - I don't add things in a particular order, but it's not tons of liquid so you may want to do parsley + vinegar first and then put the rest in.
Leave overnight for the flavours to blend together.
This recipe makes about 1 cup of sauce, and is slightly milder than the original at the request of a friend and my own stomach. I'll keep trying to get closer, but I believe more jalapeno and vinegar will get you there pretty quick. :)
Don't substitute another kind of vinegar - you might be able to go without Braggs, but make sure it has "the mother" that makes it kinda cloudy at the bottom.
It's okay if you substitute some cilantro in place of parsley. Too much can overwhelm. The store occasionally used to throw dill or mint in, but I don't recommend it.
