Ingredients
▢
16
small
jalapeno peppers
▢
1
small
onion
(cut into quarters)
▢
1
garlic clove
(peeled)
▢
¼
cup
sunflower oil
(or any neutral vegetable oil)
▢
salt
(to taste)
Instructions
Wash the jalapeño chili peppers under cold water and pat dry them with kitchen paper towels.
Cut the bottom part of each chile to remove the steam, then cut the chilies in half lengthwise.
Use the tip of a knife to remove the core of each chile if you don't want your sauce to be overly spicy, otherwise, just cut them in half.
Place chilies and onion in a pan and cover with water.
Simmer for 10 minutes or until jalapeno peppers are soft but not mushy.
Allow to cool down then transfer to a blender along with garlic and a good pinch of salt.
Add oil and ⅓ cup of water, then blend at high speed for 3 minutes or until you'll have a smooth and creamy salsa.
Adjust salt to taste and transfer to a bowl or jar and serve with your favorite foods.
Notes
We used small peppers for this recipe, if yours are larger, simply decrease the quantity to 10-12 chiles instead.
You can also roast the chilies and onion in a griddle or oven until charred marks appear. This will give the sauce a distinctive smoky flavor.
This salsa can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
