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
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by washing the green chilies and cilantro thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
3. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the roasted garlic cloves.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or sugar to balance the flavors.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
8. Use as a dip, sauce, or marinade and enjoy!
