1 jalape�o�stemmed and chopped, half the seeds discarded
4 ounces English cucumber, seeded and coarsely chopped, plus 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1 small garlic clove, smashed
1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro
1/4 cup lightly packed parsley
1 tablespoon mint
1/2 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons water

Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the jalape�o with the chopped cucumber, garlic, cilantro, parsley, mint, oil and water and puree until very smooth. Season the aguachile with salt.

Aguachile (chile water) is a vibrant sauce made with fresh chiles, herbs and cucumbers that's fantastic on any type of fish or shellfish. Add a small amount as a dressing to any ceviche.
