Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb. Serrano peppers (approx. 18-20)
1 Habanero pepper (optional)
1/4 onion
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup water
juice of 1 lime
freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
8-10 cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Give the Serranos a good rinse and de-stem them. Be sure to wash your hands after handling them. More tips on handling hot chiles.
  • Saute a roughly chopped 1/4 onion and 1 whole, peeled garlic clove in a glug of oil over medium heat.
  • Once the onion is browning you can add 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, some freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional). Briefly cook until fragrant and then add the de-stemmed Serranos, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. You can optionally add a rinsed and de-stemmed Habanero pepper. Bring to a simmer and then add everything to a blender.
  • Add 8-10 sprigs cilantro and the juice of 1 lime to the blender. Combine well or to your desired consistency. I usually leave it a bit chunky but you can always blend it thinner.
  • Add mixture to two 5 oz. bottles or a small Mason jar. Store in the fridge where it will keep for weeks at a time.

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/3 cup safflower oil, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, plus whole leaves for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)

  • Brush grill grates with oil. Grill chicken, radishes, and serrano, flipping chicken once and turning vegetables occasionally, until chicken is just cooked through and radishes are charred in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Mince serrano; stir into remaining dressing. Serve chicken with radishes, watercress, and mango; drizzle with dressing and top with cheese and mint leaves.
