Ingredients
1 medium to large red onionNew Mexico Chili Powder Fresh CilantroBrown SugarJalapeņo Peppers
Directions
Prepare food processor with 2 cubes of cilantro (similar to those stock cubes) - or 1/4 cup fresh
Add in 3 tablespoons New Mexico Chili Powder
Add in 1 tablespoon of cumin

then:
caramelize 1 medium red onion until brown and add into the food processor.

Seed and core 8-10 jalapeno peppers and boil in water for 10 minutes.

Remove from water and line on a baking sheet - bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Add the peppers to the food processor, and slowly add in a little bit of vegetable oil..puree all of that for about a minute.

*side note* If you can find New Mexico Chili Powder - I highly recommend it. It adds just a tad bit of heat, but a lot of smoky, earthy flavors. It's about 1/10th the heat of regular chili powder.

Because you are blanching the peppers first, you are removing a lot of the heat. Please let me know your honest opinion on this recipe. I hope you enjoy!

It complements just about anything!
