Preparation
Place the garlic in your food processor and process until the garlic is broken into tiny pieces.
Add the cilantro, jalapeño (keep the seeds in case you want to make the sauce more spicy after tasting), salt, cardamom, cumin and red pepper flakes. Process until the mixture is all mixed together and very finely chopped.
While running the food processor, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Scrape down the sides and blend until the sauce is mostly smooth.
Adjust to taste. For a spicier sauce, add the jalapeño seeds or additional red pepper flakes and blend again.
Transfer to an air-tight container and chill.
