Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh Anaheim chiles (or poblanos)
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
Place the Anaheim chiles on the grill or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until their skins are charred and blistered (about 5-7 minutes).
Transfer the charred chiles to a bowl and cover them with plastic wrap or a plate to steam for 5 minutes, which will make peeling easier.
Peel the skins off the chiles, remove the stems and seeds, and finely chop the flesh. Set aside.
In a small skillet over medium heat, dry-toast the garlic cloves (with their skins on) for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they soften and develop a char. Peel and finely mince the toasted garlic.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped chiles, minced garlic, red onion, white vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and ground cumin. Stir until well blended.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more vinegar for acidity or honey for sweetness.
Gently fold in the chopped cilantro for a fresh, herby finish.
Transfer the chile relish to a jar or serving dish and allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes for the flavors to meld, or serve immediately.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
