Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 2 whole Serrano peppers
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the jalapeño and serrano peppers thoroughly.
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable oil to the hot skillet and allow it to heat up for 30 seconds.
Carefully add the whole jalapeño and serrano peppers to the skillet. Let them sear without moving for about 2-3 minutes, or until the skin starts to blister and char.
Toss the peppers occasionally to ensure they blister evenly on all sides. This should take an additional 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to combine with the blistered peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are slightly softened and lightly browned.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the peppers and onions, and stir to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture. Stir again to combine.
Transfer the chiles and onions to a serving plate.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for a zesty finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish, topping, or garnish for tacos, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables.
