For a smoother sauce, you can use a food processor, but the texture will be different from the traditional method. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like mint or cilantro for a different flavor profile. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor will intensify over time.
