→ Seasonings and Sauces
06 -
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 -
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
08 -
1 tablespoon Maggi seasoning sauce
09 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
10 -
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapeños and serranos, turning frequently until the skins are blistered and charred on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the chiles to a plate.
02 -
Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and increase to medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Lower heat to medium.
03 -
Slice the charred chiles into strips, removing stems if desired. Return the sliced chiles to the pan with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
04 -
Add ground black pepper and lime juice to the pan. Stir well and gently deglaze the pan by scraping any brown bits with a silicone spatula.
05 -
Pour in the Maggi seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and light soy sauce. Mix thoroughly and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Remove from heat and serve immediately or at room temperature.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Adjust heat level by using more jalapeños for a milder result or by retaining serranos for a spicier condiment.
02 -
Doubling the sauces will yield additional pan juices, excellent for drizzling over tacos.
03 -
You may substitute lemon juice for lime if necessary, but flavor will be less vibrant.
04 -
Prepare with whole chiles for maximum heat; slicing reduces intensity.
