Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Serrano Peppers

    Wash the Serrano peppers thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely with a knife or a garlic press.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and let it heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Sear the Peppers

    Add the Serrano peppers to the hot skillet. Sear them for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are blistered and slightly charred.

  3. 5

    Add Garlic and Salt

    Once the peppers are blistered, add the minced garlic and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 6

    Add Lime Juice

    Remove the skillet from the heat. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the blistered peppers and stir to coat them evenly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the Serrano peppers to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side.
