- 1 cup Serrano peppers (chopped (3 ounces))
- 1/3 cup white onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- ½ cup of water
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- 1
Place chopped peppers and ½ cup of water in your blender. Process for a few seconds until you get a semi-coarse texture. If you over blend it and comes out with a fine texture, it’s fine. No problem with that.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion, fry for about one minute, just enough time for it to get transparent.

Now, pour the Serrano peppers mixture. Once it starts boiling, reduces heat and covers the frying pan. If the liquid reduces while cooking adds a few tablespoons of water. It will take about 8 minutes to cook. You will know the salsa is ready when the peppers have changed from a bright green color into a light pale green color, and the oil will float on the surface. Season with salt and enjoy.
