Step 1

Add some olive oil to a cast iron over medium to medium-high heat. Cook the peppers for about 5 to 10 minutes, until they are starting to blister.

Step 2

Add the onions and garlic cloves to the pan and cook until they start to soften, about another 5 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the peppers, onions, and garlic from the pan. When the garlic has cooled enough to handle, remove the skin.

Step 4

Place the peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, water, cumin, and salt to the base of a mini food processor or blender.

Step 5

Blend until well combined. You want a salsa that is thoroughly blended while maintaining a bit of its texture. Add a bit more water if it is too chunky.

Step 6

Taste for seasoning and serve.
