Method:

Whizz all the ingredients in a blender and season to taste. You can add more chillis for fire, ginger for freshness or lemon for tartness and of course more garlic if you want to ward away all those pesky (but sexy) vampires.

It’s fun to play around and tweak it to your palate or the dish you want to serve it with.
