Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 6 jalapeños and 3 garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Broil on high until the peppers are charred and blistered, about 8-10 minutes, turning once.

  2. Step 2

    Let the peppers cool slightly, then remove the stems (and seeds if you prefer milder heat).

  3. Step 3

    In a blender, combine the roasted jalapeños, garlic, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 cup water.

  4. Step 4

    Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and adjust salt. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
