Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

6   Fresh New Mexico green chiles
  OR other (Anaheim) long green chiles roasted, peeled and seeded
2   Garlic - roasted
  And finely chopped or mashed
1/3 cup 20g / 0.7ozMinced white onion
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlCoarsely ground salt - to taste
  A few drops olive oil - optional

Recipe Instructions

MAKES 1-1/2 TO 2 CUPS

Chop the chiles and mix with the garlic, onion, and salt. This can all be done in a food processor, although don't over blend it. This is a relish, not a sauce. Add oil if you want a rich taste and texture.

Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes or so. The individual flavors need time to blend. Store tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If the salsa is to be kept any longer, stir in 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
