Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced; 2 medium poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, de-seeded, and diced into 1/4-inch pieces (approx. 3/4 cup); 4 ounces mild green chilies, canned; 1 tablespoon jalapeno, de-seeded and diced; 1/4 cup water; 1/4 cup almond meal; 1 tablespoon pepitas, toasted and finely ground (you can also substitute pinenuts); 1/2 tablespoon salt (or less, depending on preference); 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar; 1/2 tablespoon lime juice; 1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Servings: persons

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 medium poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, de-seeded, and diced into 1/4-inch pieces (approx. 3/4 cup)
4 ounces mild green chilies, canned
1 tablespoon jalapeno, de-seeded and diced
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup almond meal
1 tablespoon pepitas, toasted and finely ground (you can also substitute pinenuts)
1/2 tablespoon salt (or less, depending on preference)
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

1
Heat oil in a small saucepan, then add garlic and saute' on medium heat. Garlic needs to cook, not brown.
2
Once the garlic is cooked (not browned), add the poblano chiles, green chiles, jalapenos and water. Turn heat down low enough just to maintain a simmer and cook ten minutes.
3
After cooking, most of the water should have evaporated and chiles should be tender. Add almond meal, toasted pepitas, salt and apple cider vinegar.
4
Remove from heat and allow to cool for a minimum of ten minutes. The cooling ensures that the lime juice and cilantro do not cook when you add them, as this can change their flavor dramatically.
5
Add cilantro and lime juice, and stir to blend.
6
Serve and enjoy!
