• Jalapenos½ pound
• Peeled Garlic Cloves8
• Vegetable · canola, avocado, or garlic flavored olive oil2½ tablespoons
• Cilantro¼ cup
• Salt1 teaspoon
• Pepper½ teaspoon
• Avocado1
• Juice of 1 Lime

Method

1. 01

   Cut jalapeños in half long ways. Remove the seeds from the jalapeños completely.

2. 02

   Turn on the broiler. Toss the jalapeño peppers in a little oil, then place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil until mostly blackened and soft, about 10 minutes.

3. 03

   Place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. Let sit for 10 minutes.

4. 04

   Meanwhile, toss the garlic cloves with a little oil and place on the baking sheet you just used. Put back in the oven and broil for 4-5 minutes until browned (not burned! Burned garlic will ruin the entire dish)

5. 05

   When the jalapeños have cooled down, remove the skins (they should just peel off)

6. 06

   Place the peeled jalapeños along with the garlic, cilantro, lime, avocado and 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper in the base of a high-powered blender. Puree until mostly combined, then slowly drizzle in the oil to form a smooth and creamy sauce. Season to taste, adding more salt as needed. If you want a thinner sauce, add in a few tablespoons of water.
