Basil Crema de Ají

Whiz it all in a blender (or with a stick blender) until it's smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed and whiz a few more seconds if you do just to make sure everything's evenly distributed.

If you like a slightly creamier texture, try using 3/4 cup mayo and 1/4 cup yogurt. You could also use sour cream instead of the yogurt, but yogurt's what I had on hand. Serve with steamed, boiled or roasted potatoes. Also delicious with roasted asparagus, among others. :)
