Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Peppers

    Rinse the fresh jalapeño and serrano peppers under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Make Incisions

    Using a sharp knife, make a small slit down the side of each pepper. This will allow them to blister and cook evenly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.

  2. 4

    Cook the Peppers

    Add the prepared jalapeño and serrano peppers to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and charred in spots.

  3. 5

    Season the Peppers

    Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper over the peppers while they are cooking. Toss to ensure even coating.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the peppers from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Squeeze fresh lime juice over them and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
