Ingredients:
- 3/4 pound red jalapeños
- 1/2 cup julienned dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons dark raisins
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 3 cloves roasted garlic , peeled
- 2 shallots, roasted and peeled
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
- 2 1/2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons smoked brown sugar or natural brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons unrefined fine sea salt
- 4 tablespoons raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fermenting agent (basic whey, from yogurt; water kefir; or brine from pickled vegetables, like sauerkraut)
How to cook:
- To smoke the chiles: Line a wok snugly with aluminum foil. Place a handful of aromatic wood chips in the bottom of the wok, then insert a mesh pizza rack sized to fit the wok, raising about 2 inches above the chips. Line the rack with a jalapeños. Leave room between the pieces so the smoke will cover the surfaces evenly. Heat the wok over moderate heat until the chips begin to smoke.
- Cover, decrease the heat to low, and smoke for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to smoke for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the chiles.
- To make the ferment: Cut a slit down the side of each of the smoked jalapeños, and remove the stems and most of the seeds. Remove the skins from 5 of the chiles and set aside to stir in whole. Reserve any liquid from this process.
- In a blender (preferably) or a food processor, combine all the chiles but the 5 whole jalapeños, any reserved liquid from the peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, raisins, tomato paste, garlic, shallots, cumin, coriander, oregano, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt with 2 tablespoons of the apple cider vinegar; blend to create a thick paste. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the cider vinegar along with the balsamic vinegar and puree into a smooth, soft paste.
- Place the paste in a bowl and stir in the fermenting agent. Starting with the paste, spoon into a pint jar in layers, alternating with the smoked jalapeños, being careful not to break them up. Finish with a layer of paste; secure a piece of cheesecloth to the top of the jar and ferment at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight. Cover with an airtight lid and refrigerate for 2 days before using. Store, refrigerated, for up to 2 months.
