Diane's Magic Green Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 poblano peppers
- 1 sweet bell pepper (preferably yellow)
- 1 jalapeño or Serrano pepper
- 6 green onions (white ends cut off)
- 1/4 cup or a large handful of chives
- 1/2 cup or 1/2 a large bunch of cilantro leaves and stems
- 1 garlic clove
- Juice of 2-3 pieces of citrus (lemon or lime or mix)
- Salt
- Pepper
Preparation
Roast all of the peppers in a 375 degree oven for 45-60 minutes or until the skins blacken on all sides, turning once halfway through.
Optionally, place the peppers into a bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap to allow the skins to loosen from the steam.
Remove the skins from the peppers.
For a spicy sauce, leave the seeds and ribs in the hot pepper; for a milder sauce, remove them and discard the seeds. Take care not to touch your eyes or mouth after handling the hot pepper.
Place the peppers and all of the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend on high until smooth.
Taste and add salt and pepper to your preference.
