Ingredients

– 1.5 pounds new potatoes, washed and halved
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2-3 fresh jalapeños
– 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– ½ teaspoon salt


Instructions

Creating Grilled New Potatoes with Charred Jalapeño Green Ajika is an enjoyable and straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve perfect results:

1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the halved new potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Grill the Potatoes: Place the potatoes cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.
4. Char the Jalapeños: While the potatoes are grilling, place the jalapeños directly on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and softened. Remove and let cool.
5. Make the Ajika: In a blender or food processor, combine the charred jalapeños (seeds removed for less heat if desired), cilantro, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground coriander, ground cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.
6. Combine Potatoes with Ajika: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the grill and place them in a serving bowl. Drizzle the charred jalapeño ajika over the warm potatoes and toss gently to combine.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the grilled new potatoes warm, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.

With these simple steps, you’ll create a mouth-watering dish that pairs beautifully with any meal.
