Ingredients
1 cup toasted almond slices, plus extra for garnish
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon sambal oelek
Juice of 3 limes
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/2 packed cup Thai basil leaves
1 cup canola oil
Water to thin, if needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a sauté pan over medium heat, toast almond slices just until aromatic, about 3-5 minutes, flipping pan to distribute almonds. Remove almonds to a sheet of parchment paper. In a blender, combine garlic, sambal, lime juice, almonds, fish sauce and Thai basil. Blend at high speed until almost smooth. Drizzle in the oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If sauce is too thick, add a touch of water to thin.
