How to Make Chile Relish

  1. Stem 1 pound of assorted chili peppers (see ingredient list for suggestions).
  2. Roughly chop larger peppers (like poblanos or bell peppers) into 1-inch pieces if using a blender for processing. Smaller peppers can be left whole.
  3. Peel 1 cup of garlic cloves (approximately 1 head). Feel free to double this amount for extra garlic punch!
  4. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process in batches until you reach your desired consistency, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Transfer the relish to a non-metal airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
