GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the onions and jalapeno and saute until just starting to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
• Reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle the onion mixture with the flour and stir constantly until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved liquid from the chiles, 1 cup water, the vinegar and salt and stir until the liquid is smooth and all the flour is dissolved.
• Add the chiles and pepper and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Puree in a blender, or with a stick blender, and add the lime juice. Adjust to taste for salt and pepper. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Roast for about 15 minutes, turning if needed, until the skin is well scorched. Immediately place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap or in a paper bag, and allow to cool.
• Remove the skins from the peppers by rubbing with your hands, and rinse under cold water. Cut in half, remove stem and seeds, then cut into strips.
• Place peppers into a medium serving bowl, and stir in the garlic, vinegar, oil, basil, parsley, salt and pepper.

VINEGAR-MARINATED GREEN CHILI PEPPERS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the tamarind paste. Then, place the chili peppers in a small, non-reactive bowl. Add the salt and mix well. Set aside about 2 hours at room temperature. (By then the salt will have drawn out the juices from the chili peppers, and the bowl will have a fair amount of juice.)2. Mix in the vinegar, tamarind paste, sugar, and mint. Refrigerate at least 24 hours before using. Then, transfer to a sterile glass jar and store in the refrigerator about 1 year. Serve chilled or at room temperature.From "1,000 Indian Recipes."
