    dancing kitchen's Notes:

    This is a simple condiment...but oh so good. It takes the essence of the chili and smooths it out to a delicious end.

Serves 10

20 seeded and deveined chili of your choice ( I love the sweetness of jalapeno) Ask a question about this ingredient

2 quarts salted water Ask a question about this ingredient

1/2 cup quality olive oil Ask a question about this ingredient

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste) Ask a question about this ingredient

  1. Boil salted water. Add the seeded chili peppers (unless you like nuclear hot then keep them seeded). Boil for 15 minutes or until fork tender.

  2. Drain chili peppers and place in a blender or Cuisinart. Add salt and drizzle in olive oil. This emulsifies and creates a pea green colored dip or condiment. It's lovely on tacos...eggs...anything you'd put hot sauce on. This is excellent with Serrano's, habanero's...the concept works with any pepper. Grab a chip and take a dip...wonderful!
