Six-Ingredient Jalapeño Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 cup olive or vegetable oil (or a combination of the two)
• 3 large, fresh jalapeño chiles, stemmed and cut in half lengthwise
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled
• A small handful of cilantro
• Salt
• The juice of half of a large lime

Directions

1. Set a large (10-inch) skillet over medium high heat. 
2. When hot, film with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, then lay in the chiles and whole garlic.  
3. Cook, turning everything regularly until richly browned, 5 or 6 minutes. 
4. Remove from the heat and cool completely (if the chiles and garlic aren’t cool, the sauce will break). 
5. Scrape the chiles, garlic and oil into a blender jar. 
6. Add the cilantro, then cover and turn on the blender to medium speed. 
7. While the blender is running, remove the cap in the middle of the lid and slowly pour in the olive oil. 
8. Blend until the salsa is very smooth.  
9. Taste and season with salt, usually a generous ½ teaspoon, and lime juice. Reblend to incorporate the salt and lime and you’re ready to serve.
