How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Cilantro Walnut And Jalapeno Relish

  1. Char 2 large red bell peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened on all sides. (About 10-15 minutes)
  2. Place the charred peppers in a paper bag and let stand for 10 minutes to steam.
  3. Peel, seed, and slice the peppers.
  4. Toast 1 teaspoon coriander seeds and 1 teaspoon cumin seeds in a small dry frying pan over medium heat until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Let the toasted seeds cool, then grind them using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  6. Combine 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 cup packed cilantro leaves, 1-2 jalapeños (seeded and minced, adjust to taste), the sliced red peppers, and the ground spices in a food processor. Blend until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Chill the relish for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 day) to allow the flavors to meld before serving with your favorite grilled protein.
