New Mexico Pepper Sauce...BANG!

Roguejim · Aug 31, 2015

This killer sauce was cooked just yesterday, and tasted great right out of the pot. No aging required.

THE PLAYERS:

Charcoal roasted/frozen, peeled chiles Chilacas, Big Jims, Jalapenos, Serranos, Jalamundos.
1/2 white onion, pan roasted
8 garlic cloves, pan roasted
1 TBLS Mexican oregano
1 TSP comino
kosher salt, to taste
`3 C. water
1/2 C. white vinegar

Chopped, simmered, blended, strained, and simmered again. I added the spices during the first simmer; vinegar, to taste, during the final simmer.

Yield: 40oz

Chiles.

Garlic.

Onion.

In the pot.

Strained. What a smell!

What it is.

My wife baked a biscuit, sausage, cheese, egg casserole this morning. A fine match for this sauce. Pure green chile goodness.

BANG!

Nice looking sauce. I plan on making a sauce after work and planned on roasting the peppers. I hadn't thought about roasting the onion as well, do you think it makes a difference?

I doubt it. I just wanted to roast everything.

That looks very good! I'm going to have to make some soon. How's the heat?

Roasting the onion/garlic will bring out a bit of their sweetness just as it does w the peppers. Plus it lends a little color to everything, which ain't a bad thing.

Sounds great! Looks like a good sauce. I also have Big Jims and serrano growing and they are great for sauces. It's green chile harvest time here in NM and the air is filled with roasting peppers. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Looks delicious! Definitely going to have to try this one!! The Pueblo Chili Festival is happening at the end of the month, so I see copious amount of this sauce being made

Did you put this through the blender? Was wondering what the strained part meant

Figured strained for seeds but pulverized in blender or food processor.

Oh. I blended with a hand held blender, then ran it through a wire mesh strainer into another pot for the final simmer.
