Rio Mambo Salsa Verde - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
    2 serrano chilies, seeded (or leave in the seeds for a more fiery salsa)
    1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
    2 poblano chiles, roasted and peeled (or use a can of chopped green chiles)
    3/4 cup fresh parsley leaves (about 1/2 bunch)
    3/4 cup cilantro leaf (about 1/2 bunch)
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 lime, juice of
    salt, to taste
    fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
    In a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat, toast the unpeeled garlic, serrano peppers, and pumpkin seeds until browned.
    Peel the garlic and place in a blender with the serranos, pumpkin seeds, poblanos, parsley, cilantro, oil and lime juice.
    Blend until smooth. (I prefer it left a little chunky rather than totally smooth.) Season with the salt and pepper.
