Instructions

Step 1

Bring a splash of oil to medium-hight heat in a cast iron pan. Roast the jalapeño, onion, and garlic for about 5 minutes, turning the ingredients with tongs for even searing.

Step 2

Remove the seared peppers from the pan and carefully slice them into rings on a cutting board. We prefer to leave the seeds in for simplicity, but you could remove them at this point if desired.

Step 3

Simmer the roasted jalapeños and onions in a medium pot with about 1 cup of water for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the garlic, salt, cumin, and sugar, stirring until combined. Simmer an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

Remove from the heat and add the simmered mixture into a blender along with the cilantro and Lemon

Step 6

Blend until smooth and allow to cool at room temperature.

Step 7

Season to taste by adding more salt and/or cumin.
