   3      cloves        garlic -- peeled
   2      medium        shallots -- peeled, quartered
   1                    scotch bonnet -- seeded, quartered
                        OR habanero chili
   2      teaspoons     fresh ginger -- chopped
     1/2  cup           parsley leaves -- flat leaf
     1/4  cup           fresh chives -- chopped
                        OR scallion greens
     1/2  teaspoon      fresh or dried thyme
   1      teaspoon      salt -- or to taste
     1/2  teaspoon      freshly ground black pepper
   1      pinch         ground allspice
     1/3  cup           fresh lime juice -- or to taste
     1/2  cup           extra virgin olive oil.

Preparation:

Finely chop the garlic, shallots, chili, ginger, parsley and chives in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients, and process just to mix. Add 1/4 cup boiling water, and process to mix. Run the machine in short bursts until you have a coarse puree. If desired, add more salt or lime juice, to taste. The sauce can be served immediately, but it becomes more flavorful if you let it sit for an hour. Yield: about 2 cups.
