Servings: 2 16 oz. jars
Calories: 15kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb. red serrano peppers
- ½ medium white onion (chopped)
- 1 bulb garlic
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 medium lime (juiced)
- 3 tablespoon vinegar
Instructions
- Rinse and dry one pound of serrano peppers and add to a foil-lined cookie sheet. Slice the bottom of a garlic bulb and place it on the tray. Arrange the chopped onion on the same tray. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the salt.
- Broil on low until everything is starting to char. Check frequently to avoid burning. Pull the tray out as needed and remove any ingredients that are beginning to burn.
- Add the peppers and onion along with the remaining salt in a blender or food processor. Squeeze the garlic cloves into the blender. Add one to two cups of water, lime juice, and vinegar. Blend until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the sauce into the jars and store in the refrigerator until cool enough to enjoy. Serve with chips or your favorite Mexican meal.
