Creamy Jalapeño Sauce (Southwest Style)

INGREDIENTS

• 8 fresh jalapeno peppers about 12 ounces by weight
• 1 small red onion chopped (about 6 ounces)
• 4-5 garlic cloves
• ½ cup Neutral oil use corn oil, avocado oil, or a neutral vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Slice the stems from the jalapeno peppers and add them to a medium sized pot along with the onion.
2. Cover with water and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the jalapeno peppers soften up. They will turn dull green and you can pierce them with a fork easily, but do not let them become mushy.
3. Strain but keep the liquid on hand.
4. Add the boiled jalapenos and onion to a food processor along with the garlic, oil and salt. Process until very smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
5. If you’d like a thinner sauce, add in a few tablespoons of the reserved boiling water.
6. Adjust for salt and serve!
