Recipe type: Condiment
Serves: 20
Ingredients
  • 12 garlic cloves
  • 1 large white onion, diced (about 1½ cups)
  • 4 Anaheim chile peppers (or cubanelle if you can find them), seeded and roughly chopped (about 3 cups
  • 8 small sweet red peppers, seeded and roughly chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Other herbs (see Notes)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Put the garlic in the bowl of a food processor and let the bad run until it's finely minced. Add the onion, Anaheim peppers, red peppers, cilantro, herbs, and salt. Pulse several times until it breaks down, the process until finely minced and paste-like.
  2. Store for 1 week in the refrigerator or freeze in ice cube trays for easy use later.
Notes
I was given a bag of about 1 cup of minced herbs from the woman in Puerto Rico who shared her recipe with me. As best I can tell it's a mix of cilantro, culantro, and thyme)
