Ingredients:
1 cup tender fresh cilantro sprigs |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint |
1 large fresh jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped |
1 teaspoon sugar |
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste |
2 lb jícama, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Pulse cilantro, mint, jalapeño, sugar, and 3 tablespoons lime juice in a food processor until cilantro is finely chopped. Add half of jícama and pulse until jícama is very coarsely chopped (you want a chunky, crunchy slaw, not a purée). Transfer relish to a bowl.
2. Pulse remaining jícama in food processor in same manner and add to relish with salt and lime juice to taste. Chill relish well, about 2 hours.
3. Cooks' note: Taste jalapeño before adding it, to control the amount of heat.
