Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 8 fresh jalapeno peppers (about 12 ounces by weight)
  • 1 small red onion (chopped (about 4 ounces))
  • 4-5 garlic cloves
  • ½ cup Neutral oil (use corn oil, avocado oil, or a neutral vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Slice the stems from the jalapeno peppers and add them to a medium sized pot along with the onion.
  • Cover with water and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the jalapeno peppers soften up. They will turn dull green and you can pierce them with a fork easily, but do not let them become mushy.
  • Strain but keep the liquid on hand.
  • Add the boiled jalapenos and onion to a food processor along with the garlic, oil and salt. Process until very smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
  • If you’d like a thinner sauce, add in a few tablespoons of the reserved boiling water.
  • Adjust for salt and serve!
