El Pato Green #1

• El Pato Green sauce 15.5 oz
• White Onions 94g
• Garlic 8g
• Lime 1/2 Juiced
• Cilantro 5g
• Salt 1/2 tsp
• Cumin 1/8 tsp

Mince the garlic and cilantro, finely dice the onion. Mix everything with a spoon

Notes:
• Hopping on the reddit el pato wagon
• Super small test batch designed to the scaled up
• Green can already has jalapenos in it so I didn't add any peppers
• Not very spicy at all comapred to the yellow can
• Good call on the cumin amount, I thought I used way too much until I fully blended it together
• I didn't want to use a blender so I could keep the color. I really took my time cutting everything up and it still seemed a bit too chunky. When up scaling it'd rather just blend the garlic, onion, and cilantro with a small amount of sauce
• Also used a bit too much garlic and onion. It over powered everything else just a bit too much
• The el pato hype is pretty real. I love the color and always wondered how to make actual restaurant style salsa. Key is canned sauce instead of always blending store bought roma tomatoes. It's insane I tried so hard trying to replicate that when the answer was so obvious. I always assumed fresher stuff would taste better, but guess that's not always the case!
• Looking forward to tweaking this recipe. Green el pato isn't bad but I prefer the yellow
