Oven
Baking sheet
Spoon or chopstick
Blender or food processor
Tupperware container with lid or bowl and plastic wrap
Container to hold sauce
Optionally: aluminum foil or parchment paper
- 6 large jalapeño peppers
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup neutral flavored oil (canola oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil) plus a bit more for drizzling
- 1 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
- 3 tsp white vinegar or to taste (can also skip this ingredient)
Wash and dry 6 large jalapeño peppers and 2 garlic cloves (unpeeled) and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Drizzle oil across the top of the jalapeño peppers.
Place the baking sheet with jalapeño peppers and garlic cloves into the oven and broil on high for 6 minutes.
After 6 minutes, take out the garlic cloves from the oven and leave to cool. Flip the jalapeño peppers upside down and broil for another 6 minutes on the other side.
When the jalapeño peppers have blistered and the skin has turned brown, take out of the oven and immediately place it into either a Tupperware container with a lid or a bowl with a plastic wrap. Leave the jalapeños to continue cooking and steaming for 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes are up, remove most of the blistered skin from the jalapeños and place into a blender and food processor along with the 2 peeled garlic cloves, 1/4 cup of oil, salt, and white vinegar. *Note, if you can't handle a lot of spice, remove some of the jalapeño seeds at this point with a spoon or a pair of chopsticks.
Remove from the blender, and place in an airtight container for up to a week! Enjoy on EVERYTHING!
