Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh green chilies (serrano or jalapeño)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
1. Start by washing the green chilies and cilantro thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Dry roast the green chilies and garlic cloves (leave the skin on the garlic for now) for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly blistered and fragrant. Remove from heat.
3. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the roasted garlic cloves.
4. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted green chilies, roasted garlic, cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice, white vinegar, olive oil, salt, sugar, and water.
5. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. If the sauce seems too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or sugar to balance the flavors.
7. Transfer the Green Chili Fire Sauce to a clean, airtight jar or container and refrigerate. Let the flavors develop for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best taste.
8. Use as a dip, sauce, or marinade and enjoy!
