Gt's Serrano Spread
- olive oil, about 1 cup to cook serranos
- 1 lb serrano chili pepper (rinse, dry and cutoff stems just below the caps)
- 1 medium white onion (coarsely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- Heat olive oil on medium heat.
- Add serranos slowly to oil as the oil will be hot.
- Cook serranos until they began to blister (start to turn white).
- Once blistered, carefully remove chili from pan and let both chili and oil cool down.
- Take the white onion and coarsely chop.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and cook onions until they become soft and blackened around the edges.
- Then, remove onion from the pan; let cool.
- When all ingredients have cooled, combine all except oil into a blender.
- Add one tablespoon of oil to ingredients and blend.
- If mixture is slightly thick, drizzle just a little more chili oil in the blender until it reaches a consistency of soft butter.
- The color will be light green.
- Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
- When ready to use stir chili as the chili oil may rise to the surface.
- If you like heat, you will certainly enjoy this as much as I love making it.
- Total quantity of chili oil you may need to use will be about 3 tablespoons max.
