Ingredients
- 10 large jalapeño peppers stems removed leaving the pepper whole
- 1 small onion any color, yellow is our preference
- 4 large cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/3 cup avocado oil
Instructions
- Slice the stems off the jalapeños, leaving the pepper whole, and place them in a large pot of boiling water.
- Boil for 5-10 minutes or until the peppers are very soft. Drain and transfer to a food processor along with the onion, garlic cloves, lime juice, cumin, and sea salt.
- Blend until smooth then, with the motor running, slowly stream in the avocado oil and process just until creamy. Taste for salt and cumin add a pinch more if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve *[see notes].
Notes
The sauce can be served immediately but the flavor will develop further over 6-8 hours and the sauce will become slightly thicker after refrigeration. We find that this sauce is at its peak the day after making. If you don't have a blender, a food processor or even an immersion blender will work.
