Ingredients
- 1medium onionchopped
- 4cloves garlicminced
- 1cup whole roasted smoked JalapenosI froze these whole after they were roasted/smoked.
- 2Tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1Tablespoon agave
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a frying pan, heat a little oil in a frying pan. Add the chopped onion and cook for a few minutes on medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir until lightly cooked. You do not want the garlic to brown, as this makes it bitter.
- Combine all the ingredients, including the onion and garlic mixture in a food processor and blend to desired texture.
- Taste a very small amount to determine if any more salt is needed. The level of heat will vary depending on the heat of the original jalapenos. As it can be very hot, you can freeze it in small portions for adding to chiles, enchiladas or a Smoky Jalapeno Mayo.
- Bottle in small jars, label, and freeze until needed. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
We grew lots of these, so this is great way to make good use of the crop. This is the inspiration for some Smoky Jalapeno Mayo, delicious drizzled on these Sweet Potato Tacos.
