Ingredients
- 1 lb JALAPENOS
- 1/2 unit WHITE ONION
- 4 cloves GARLIC
- 1/2 cup NEUTRAL OIL
- 1 tbsp LIME JUICE
- 1 tsp KOSHER SALT
Instructions
Step 1:
-
Wash all your fresh vegetables very well. Slice the stems off the jalapenos. Peel the white onion carefully now. Cut the onion into four large chunks.
Step 2:
-
Fill a large pot with clean water. Add the peppers and the onion pieces. Place the pot on the stove. Make sure the water covers everything.
Step 3:
-
Turn the stove to high heat now. Wait for the water to boil. This will start the cooking process quickly. Let the vegetables cook for ten minutes.
Step 4:
-
The peppers will turn dark green. Use your tongs to remove them. Put them into your blender jar. Add the cooked onion chunks too.
Step 5:
-
Add the garlic and salt now. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice. Do not add any boiling water. The water will make it too thin.
Step 6:
-
Start the blender on a low speed. Slowly pour in the neutral oil. This makes the salsa very creamy. This process is called emulsifying.
Step 7:
-
Increase the blender speed to high. Blend for one full minute. The salsa should look like green milk. It will thicken as it cools.
