1/2 cup tightly packed fresh coriander leaves
1 tablespoon tightly packed oregano leaves

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, containing two 8-ounce or four 4-ounce canning jars and their lids to sterilize.
Place onion, peppers, garlic, coriander and oregano in the bowl of a food processor. Process until coarsely chopped. Scrape mixture into a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Leaving dish in oven, prick plastic to release steam and uncover carefully. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 3 minutes.
Remove from oven. Divide between sterilized jars and store, tightly covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 months.
