Ingredients

  • ½ cup 125ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1-1/2 pounds 750g mild Hatch Chile peppers trimmed, seeds and white pith removed, and diced
  • pinch fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Place the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan with sides that are at least 2-inches (5m) high, over medium-low heat.
  2. Add the peppers and stir, then season lightly with salt.
  3. When the peppers begin to sizzle, stir them and reduce the heat to low. Cover the peppers.

  4. Cook the peppers, stirring regularly so they don't stick, until they are olive green and completely tender through, which will take about 1 hour. Taste and give them more time if necessary.
