Ingredients

• 8 jalapeños or serrano chillies
• 1 white onion, thickly sliced
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or Maggi seasoning)
• 1 Lime, juiced
• coarse salt

Method

1. Roll the chillies firmly on the board with your palm to loosen them inside; this helps them soften as they cook.
2. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chillies and onion and cook, turning now and then, for 6–8 min, until blistered and blackened in spots.
3. Take the pan off the heat and splash in the soy sauce and lime juice; it will sizzle and coat everything.
4. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve warm alongside tacos, grilled meat or rice.

Tips

• For gluten-free, use tamari in place of soy sauce or Maggi.
• Cover the pan for the last few minutes if you like the chillies softer all the way through.
