Time 20m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 jalapeno peppers
2 large bunches fresh coriander, approximately
2 large cloves garlic
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped hot fresh chili pepper, stem removed but with seeds
1/2 cup chopped peeled red tomato
Salt to taste if desired

Steps:

  • Put peppers over a gas flame or heat over charcoal, turning often, until the outsides are burnt or charred, about 5 to 7 minutes. Dampen a cloth and wrap the peppers in it to cool.
  • Remove peppers and peel. Discard stems, veins and seeds. Cut peppers into fine shreds.
  • Meanwhile, pick the leaves from the sprigs of coriander. There should be about 1 1/2 cups of leaves, loosely packed.
  • In the container of a food processor blend the coriander leaves, garlic cloves and water. Blend thoroughly.
  • Heat butter and oil in a heavy skillet. Add onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add jalapeno and chili peppers and tomato and cook, stirring, about a minute.
  • Add the coriander mixture. Add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
