Bon Appétit


Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped seeded jalapeño chiles (about 4 large)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped green onions (about 2 large)
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped sweet onion (such as Maui or Vidalia)
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons (or more) red wine vinegar or fresh lime juice
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Combine jalapeño chiles, green onions, sweet onion, and cilantro in processor; puree until paste forms, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula several times. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and blend until mixture is pourable but some texture still remains.
   
2. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and more vinegar to taste, if desired.
3. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Notes:
This sauce tasted really spicy alone, but it was a delicious accompaniment to grilled meat. Will definitely make again.
