Instructions
- Wash the chilies and make a small cut on the side of each one so they don't burst during cooking.
- Grill the red peppers in the oven on the grill setting until the skin blackens, then cover them for 10 minutes and peel them.
- Blanch the green chilies in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and let them cool.
- Blend the red pepper flesh with the garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper until you get a smooth purée.
- Stuff each chili with a spoonful of purée using a small spoon or a piping bag.
- Arrange the stuffed chilies in a sterilised jar, packing them tightly.
- Pour the oil over them so they are completely covered, then seal the jar.
- Let it marinate for at least 3 days in the fridge before tasting.
Variations and tips
Milder version. Choose sweet chilies or green peppers instead of hot chilies.
Salted version. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the purée for longer keeping.
