if i took one thing away from my years in the high desert of new mexico it is a life long love affair with green chilies.

i must admit that i’m continually disappointed here in alaska with the selection and quality of the chilies. a lack of dry and heat and everything else that makes chilies happy is surely to blame.

i eat them anyways.

it’s not that they taste bad, they just don’t have any kick.

green chili relish

ingredients:

4 large green chilies

1 jalapeno

2 tsp salt

a jar

some water

instructions:

cut everything into little pieces (except the salt which should already be in really little pieces)

put it in the jar

fill with the water.

shake it like a maraca. you can do a little dance too, it might help.

leave the jar on the counter until it’s nice and funky!

eat a lot.
