Jalapeño-Garlic Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

20 garlic cloves, unpeeled
12 medium jalapenos
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups chopped cilantro leaves
salt

Preparation

Brush a large skillet with oil. Add the garlic and jalapenos to each. Don't worry if you can't fit all the peppers in the skillet at the same time, you can transfer some out to cool. Cover and cook over low heat, turning the jalapenos occasionally, until they are blistered all over and the garlic is softened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Peel the jalapenos and discard the stems, seeds and cores. Peel the garlic cloves.
Transfer the jalapenos and garlic to a blender and add the olive oil, lime juice and cilantro. Blend until smooth. Scrape the sauce into a bowl, season with salt. Transfer the sauce to jars and refrigerate. Can be stored up to 2 months.
