Ingredients

• 10 whole Fresh green chilies (like jalapeños or serrano)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 medium White onion
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the green chilies; remove the stems and seeds (you can leave some seeds for more heat if desired). Roughly chop them.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them. Chop the onion into smaller chunks for easier blending.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, sauté for about 3 minutes until fragrant and the onion turns translucent.

Step 4

Add the chopped green chilies to the saucepan, continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until they start to soften slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender or food processor. Add lime juice, fresh cilantro, apple cider vinegar, salt, cumin powder, and water.

Step 7

Blend until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother sauce, blend longer, and for a chunkier texture, pulse the blender until incorporated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.

Step 9

Transfer the green chili sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, tacos, eggs, or as a spicy dip for veggies. Store the sauce in the fridge for up to 1 week.
